It seems that my /etc/resolv.conf has the entry
nameserver 192.168.0.1
which corresponds to my gateway. It also has an entry for the correct
nameserver. When I delete the one for my gateway, applications other than
KDE work. Isn't KDE clever to overlook this misdirection? Now, if I could
just figure out why resolvconf is inserting this erroneous entry, I will
finally be done with this problem.
