Definitely. I didn't have the time to look at it yet. What needs to be done
for this is implementing a way how artsd could find plugins installed by
the KDE apps (like noatun), even if artsd is installed with --prefix=/usr
and the noatun plugin resides under --prefix=/opt/kde3 (for instance).

I am not sure which way would be the best. Maybe an environment variable
which distributions could set up (like ARTS_PATH=/usr/lib:/opt/kde3/lib) or a
configuration file in /etc, or even compiling in the KDE directory into the
arts module with a seperate configuration option.

   Cu... Stefan
