Better make 100% sure then that the process is running on the local machine. 
Currently kdekillall is based on 'ps' output IIRC, so you can't possibly kill 
remote apps. But with using DCOP you might find a remote app and a pid and 
then kill off a local process that happens to have the same pid.

Or am I overly concerned here?

If it doesn't have side-effects for Linux you can't possibly make it worse as 
kdekillall currently doesn't work if I understand you correctly. So, yes, 
fine with me.
