Ah, this is what confused me:
(kdelibs/dcop/HOWTO)
	N.B.: You cannot call() a method belonging to an application which has
	registered with an unique numeric id appended to its textual name (see
	dcopclient.h for more info). In this case, DCOP would not know which
	application it should connect with to call the method. This is not an issue
	with send(), as you can broadcast to all applications that have registered
	with appname-<numeric_id> by using a wildcard (e.g. 'konsole-*'), which
	will send your signal to all applications called 'konsole'.

Somehow I got it stuck in my head that you could do a "someapp-*" but not a 
"*".  Thanks for clearing that up.

cheers
