Problems resolving sites in browsers under KDE

[Dragoncrest]

         Well, so far the Mcop thing doesn't help any.  But I think I'll 
give the IPv6 in the kernel thing a try.  I did notice that BSD for some 
reason seems to look at IPv6 stuff first for some oddball reason.  It's 
still hanging at random times just like yours.  Hmm.  But at least lynx is 
working.  Too bad I can't see pictures.  ;)
