The PyKDE version is a little old, and there have been dcop extension changes 
since the version you have, but I'm not sure they affect the problem you're 
having.

Could you provide a short example program that demonstrates the problem, so 
that I'm sure I'm troubleshooting the actual problem you're having? You can 
just post it as an attachment here,  or email it to me (or both).
