Version:           4.1.1 (using KDE 4.1.1)
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.1) 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Hi

Since I've upgraded from KDE 3.5.9 to KDE 4.1.x (used 4.1.0 and now 4.1.1) I can't use the SOCKS support in KDE. The configuration of it seems to be identical to the SOCKS configuration in 3.5.9 (thus separate config for http proxy as used by konqueror than config for SOCKS proxy as used by anything else than konqueror, btw wasn't kde 4 supposed to fix this too?) and I enabled SOCKS support and I tried either with "autodetect" or "dante" but it won't load it. When I hit on test it says it couldn't load socks library. 

Notice that another thing it does is that as long as the SOCKS support is enabled, every time I enter settings in konqueror or proxy settings in systemsettings it pops up a message saying that I need to restart to enable the changes but obviously I just did so.

Please let me know if you need more information, thank you!

Hmm I'm  not so sure this is the same issue at that bug. Nobody there complains about broken proxy settings dialog that once you set SOCKS it always pops up a "you need to restart" message every time you enter settings (that is after such restarts). Also nobody seems to talk about using SOCKS for other applications than konqueror. But in any case, the bug talks about many issues with proxying so I will wait and see if that will solve my problems too.
