[PyQt] PyKDE: problems sending singals to KPART

I had a look at the example. My feeling however is that it is not an option 
for me since, contrary to the example, I want to embed the kpart in my 
application instead a launching a separate process. For DCOP control as shown 
in the example I need the "$PROCNAME-$PID" id string which I obviously do not 
have.
While writing the above the idea came to my mind that I could simply use the 
the name and pid of my own app which embeds the kpdf part and send dcop 
messages to my own app to control the kpdf part. So far so good. 
My app is planned to embed more than just one kpdf kpart but when inspecting 
my app with kdcop I only could see one single kpdf component (eben though my 
app has two of them). Using kdcop I can send messaes to the kpdf part. They 
are executed for the kpdf kpart that was last instantiated. I could not find 
a way to control the other kpdf kpart as it does not show up in kdcop. What 
is the reason for that?

Coming back to the idea of writing some own c++ code: What exactly would I 
have to write?

Thank you
