The short, quick, and unsatisfying answer is "I don't know". I've
been aware that the DCOP interface in PyKDE *might* be incomplete,
but haven't looked much farther than that. I seem to recall that I
did see a way around this, but I'm not sure what it might be at the
moment. I'll look into it and try to have an answer in the next day
or two. Please post again if I don't get you an answer in that
timeframe.
