It would be great to see support for zeroconf in a similar fashion to the Mac OS X terminal. This may involve a simple command 'Connect to Server' in the Session menu that would open a selection window. This window would allow you to select a service type such as ssh, sftp, ftp or telnet which in turn would propigate a list of all of instances of that particular services currently on the network (and also running zeroconf).

It could maybe also be done using the bookmarks menu.

Implementation would also be fairly straight forward by using kdenetworks kdns-sd API.

This may also be a solution for bugs such as http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121620
