Your analysis seems to be correct. However, before you spend more time on this, I would advise to wait until July. Here's why :-) On the train back from Randa, Kévin Ottens and myself started to work on a class that implements the 'registration to dbus' and the 'unique functionality' without being a qapplication subclass. This makes the functionality available without other kdelibs dependencies (yay), and makes it available to non-gui apps too. Command-line handling is currently missing, but could be added "the right way", with your findings in mind :-) I would point you to the code, but it's on a laptop in the south west of France right now :-) -- David Faure, fa...@kde.org, http://www.davidfaure.fr Sponsored by Nokia to work on KDE, incl.
