It's simple. During KDE II we discussed stuff - ARTS was based on CORBA, and it
was no problem. After KDE II it was decided to use DCOP for just everything and
kick out CORBA completely.

So Stefan had to rewrite everything to a non-CORBA solution. This still is not
finished, as he was forced on KDE II to rewrite the scheduler, too. Lately he
had not so much time due to exams (IIRC).

I am doing the new media player in the meantime. And I am waiting for Matthias
to return, to tell me how kwin communicates. I need this for knotify.
