No, not really, that's the point. Now let's say I have a Kopete like app 
and want to have a script which writes everything people wrote me while 
I was being away to a file and says something to everyone who messaged 
me. This would involve hooking up a plugin that would be called when:
a) I'm away,
b) I get a message,
but iff one of these conditions is satisfied. This would involve 
connecting handlers within the plugin to the exposed signals.
So within application I would call "Menu->Load Plugin..." the plugin 
would be loaded and the right signals connected to the corresponding 
handlers within the plugin. With DCOP It's not a problem to write a 
script that would write contents of a message to a file and respond to 
users, but it's a problem to write a script which would be loaded in 
the background during the whole application execution time and do it's 
work only if certain signals/prerequisites are satisfied.
