SOCKS proxy & KDE

i am running a tor (onion router) server (a socks4a proxy that anonymises data) with privoxy (a http proxy that tunnels data into the socksproxy) in my lan, so i tried to set my kde network settings to use the proxies.
manually setting http and https proxies in the kontrolcentre to privoxy's address and port worked flawlessly, but ftp can't be routed through privoxy, so i need to set that to use the tor server directly.
so i set ftp proxy to the same address and set the port to tor's sock4 port and activated dante's socks support in kontrolcentre (which was inited successfully).
now the problem is if a i open an ftp address tor tells me: dont treat me as an http proxy, i am a socks proxy! (not literally ;) )
any ideas?
is there a way to use http proxy for http and https, but explicitly use socks proxy for ftp?

thanks a lot!

hm proxy integration seems to be pretty bad in kde alltogether...
as far as i have tested, none of the kde-applications except konqueror honor then at all. kmail and kopete, just dont care what i have set my proxies to be...
although i use ssl to fetch and send mail and the ssl proxy (the http proxy, not even the socks proxy) is set and working kmail tries to connect directly!
how can this be? why are these settings called gloabl settings when they only apply to konqueror? even worse, how can i use proxies with the rest of kde!?

really dissipointing so far...
