D-Bus interfaces or rather their descriptions don't have to be installed, t=
hey=20
can be queried at runtime.
A GUI tool to do that is qdbusviewer, but qdbus can also do this:
=2D when invoked wihout any parameter, it will list all D-Bus "names" (one=
=20
process can have several names).
=2D when invoked with such a name it will list all objects in this process.
=2D when invoked with name and object path, it will list the available meth=
ods=20
on said object.

One way would be to have a "kmail" script in your path before the kmail bin=
ary=20
and let it start the watchmail and then the actual kmail by full path.

Another option would be to take the KMail.desktop file (which is used by th=
e=20
laucher menu, etc), copy it to the respective user local path (see kde4-con=
fig=20
=2D-path xdgdata-apps) and modify it so its "Exec" line runs this wrapper=20
script.

Renaming the kmail binary and putting a wrapper script in its place would w=
ork=20
for as well for a short time, but it would be overwritten the next time you=
=20
update the kmail package.

Cheers,
Kevin
