Greetings,
	I have trying to improve the scripting support in KDE 3, but it seems that 
very few have been fans of my plan of attack.  I ran acrross 
KDCOPActionProxy...  It looks like it will do most of what I would like to do 
but I cannot find any apps that are using it.  Is anyone more familiar with 
this class?

I have been doing some MacApp development lately and have noticed some 
similarites between DCOP and Applescripts Apple Events.   IMHO DCOP is a 
cleaner approach, but it is more effort to add to existing applications.

The end goal here is to make dcop implementations in KDE more consistant.  I 
think DCOP is one of the better solutions out there, but it's implementation 
amongst KDE applications is spotty.  I mean look at the difference in DCOP 
handles between KWrite and KOrganizer... There are dcop calls that do the 
same thing but are called different names.  I think making additions to the 
KApp or KMainWindow are the best ways to go.  This will allow consistant 
features to be delivered across all KDE applications.

My other solution was to add DCOP interfaces to KStdAction but I was told 
this was a poor solution....

Questions, comments, rude remarks?
