Hey!

Thanks for your patch! Although there is one thing not correct...
"QProcess::startDetached("kget", urls);": We should use KGet's dbus-interface 
to add new downloads!

<method name="addTransfer">
      <arg type="s" direction="in"/>
      <arg type="s" direction="in"/>
      <arg type="b" direction="in"/>
    </method>

This would be the correct way for adding new downloads...

Thanks!
