+</question>
+<answer>
+<para
+>&konqueror; can be used with &HTTP; and &FTP; proxies. To set up the proxy server in &konqueror;, just select <menuchoice
+><guimenu
+>Settings</guimenu

+<question>
+<para
+>How can I do non-anonymous &FTP; transfers with &konqueror;?</para>
+</question>
+<answer>
+<para
+>Normally, if you enter a &URL; like <userinput
+>ftp://<replaceable
+>ftp.somehost.com</replaceable
+></userinput
+>, &konqueror; will attempt an anonymous login to the &FTP; server. If you want to login as a particular user, enter a &URL; like <userinput
+>ftp://<replaceable
+>username@ftp.somehost.com</replaceable
+></userinput
+> instead. &konqueror; will ask for your password and connect to the server.</para>

+> <question
+> <para
+>What are <option
+>%i</option
+> and <option
+>%m</option
+> in the Execute line?</para
+> </question
+> <answer>
+<para
+>They are used by all &kde; applications (since they are implemented in <classname
+>KApplication</classname
+> and all good &kde; programs create a <classname
+>KApplication</classname
+> object before they even look at the command line arguments).</para
+> <para
+>A standard line for a &kde; application looks like this: <userinput
+><command
+>foo</command
+> <option
+>... %i %m -caption \"%c\"</option
+></userinput
+>. Pretty confusing, but it has been designed in that way so that it can integrate legacy, non-&kde; applications as smoothly as possible. &konqueror;, when executing the line above, will extend the command to <userinput
+><command
+><replaceable
+>foo</replaceable
+></command
+> <option
+>-icon something.png -miniicon something_mini.png -caption \"The Foo\"</option
+></userinput
+>. Both the icon and the mini-icon as well as "The Foo" are properties defined in the <filename
+>.desktop</filename
+> file. If the icons are not defined, they simply default to the executable name <replaceable
+>foo</replaceable
+>.</para>
+
+<para
+>This way a user can change these things in &kmenuedit; for his or her applications. The <option
+>-caption</option
+> option is important, because no user will accept that the menu item <guimenuitem
+>Editor</guimenuitem
+> starts something called <guilabel
+>kedit-0.9pl4-build47</guilabel
+>. Instead, he expects a window called <guilabel
+>Editor</guilabel
+>. Furthermore these names are localised, <abbrev
+>i.e.</abbrev
+> an American user launches <guimenuitem
+>CD-Player</guimenuitem
+> and gets a window called <guilabel
+>CD-Player</guilabel
+> while a German user launches <guimenuitem
+>CD-Spieler</guimenuitem
+> and gets a window called <guilabel
+>CD-Spieler</guilabel

+<answer>
+<para
+>This new policy attempts to block intrusive JavaScript popup windows. If the user does not click on a button or submit a form to trigger the popup, then the popup is not permitted. Some sites will open a second new window from within the first and in that case, the second window will not show. </para>
