[PyKDE] dcop problem querying wallpaper

[Sebastian Kügler]

Hi,

Trying to query the name of the currently shown wallpaper I stumbled 
across the following, which is puzzling for me:

#-------------- SNIP ------------------------------------------------
import dcop, dcopext, sys
from kdecore import *

KCmdLineArgs.init (sys.argv,"bla","foo","bar")
app  = KApplication ()
dcop = app.dcopClient ()

kwin = dcopext.DCOPApp ("kwin", dcop)
kdesktop = dcopext.DCOPApp ("kwin", dcop)

# Huge list of methods, looks good
print kwin.KWinInterface.getMethods() 

# Just works
ok,current_desktop = kwin.KWinInterface.currentDesktop() 
print "Desktop is : ", current_desktop 

# None, also no Exception
print kdesktop.KBackgroundIface.getMethods() 

# (False, None), no Exception
print kdesktop.KBackgroundIface.currentWallpaper(current_desktop) 
#-------------- SNIP ------------------------------------------------
[Python 2.3, KDE 3.4, PyKDE 3.11.3]

While the kwin stuff works just fine, returning the name of the current 
desktop, from kdesktop.KBackgroundIface.getMethods() is empty and I 
don't even get the usual AttributeError yadda-yadda, also not my 
wallpaper name of course.

Is that my lack of sleep tricking me?

Thanks,

sebas
