Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.4) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages I never understood why things like smtp, smtps, pop3, pop3s, imap and imaps were implemented as KIOSlaves, but they shouldn't be visible publicly. Places where they are visible include the tab "thumbnails" in the "file manager" kcm ( names retranslated from dutch ), and the alt+f2 minicli, where you get a weird error when trying to open e.g. smtp:/test.
I guess we wouldn't object a patch

This isn't a major issue for the other places, and I guess the bug can be lowered to wishlist or closed, unless I missed some other places where a list of protocols is shown. I still disagree with the design choice to implement e.g. an smtp ioslave, as it does not at all fit the definition of an ioslave imho, but hey, that's just developer esthetics, and you can ignore it, I guess ;) cheers domi
