Re: Socks configuration

FYI, I managed to get socks working with KDE.  Turned out that it was a Debian 
problem, not a KDE problem.  Debian uses /etc/dante.conf instead of the 
standard /etc/socks.conf for the Dante config file.  Wish they would have 
documented that somewhere. =)

Anyways, everything works just fine now, so here's a documented case of KDE 
properly using with a socks proxy.
