Version: (using KDE KDE 3.0.7) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux I have a router with auto dialup connection to the internet. "Offline mode" in enabled. knewsticker does not cause any internet activity BUT on startup! So everytime I log into KDE any knewsticker is started from session management an internet connection is started caused by knewsticker. This should not be in Offline Mode ... I will add the produced traffic later.
These pages are loaded by knewsticker on startup (in my configuration): http://segfault.org/favicon.ico http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/filters/zdrc/0,14177,6020498,00.html http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/filters/main/ http://www.netphoenix.at/favicon.ico http://www.netphoenix.at/favicon.ico I can reproduce that if I remove knewsticker, go offline, and add knewsticker again --> internet connection is started
