Re: [kde] DCOP problem when running a kde app remotely (withDISPLAYredirect)

Hello,

I completely understand your argument, but I see a
big benefit "nearly for free", if the already existing
dcopserver switch would allow an

-dcopserver none

In the base class it would be a 5 minute go, but all
kde-apps would (sooner or later) have to take care of this
possibility, so instead of complaining and stopping, they
would just "not serve" some of their functionality, when
running without dcopserver.

Only very few applications could do that,most applications require DCOP for
the application<->session service communication.
Some examples: KWrite will need to talk to klauncher for requesting IO
slaves, Kicker will (indirectly) need to talk to klauncher for starting
programs, etc.

The applications might still be able to display things, but it would be a
really small subset of their indented functionality and require that the
application developers know all the internals details of the APIs.
Developing KDE applications is quite easy because you can just use the kdelibs
APIs and not care how the libs implement something, because it will just
work.

Communication between applications will become increasingly important, because
it allows applications of different platforms (e.g.KDE, GNOME) to use the
services provided by the currently active platform, thus not requiring to
start up their own.

It's a tradeoff between resouce reusage and integration on one side and
dependencies on the other.

Since both sides have their advantages and followers, applications will be
developed for both side, some might even take the burden to cover both.

Cheers,
Kevin
