Such a functionality has definitely nothing to do with kdesktop. KDesktop 
doesn't even know if there are many desktops or not. The functionality should 
be implemented in kwin. We shouldn't abuse dcop for things that can be done 
with traditional coding. I doubt, as Lubos says, that it's of any use for 
people other than those using focusUnderMouse (which I believe are rare). But 
I will see what I can do about it and try to implement it correctly. It's in 
my TODO.
