Euhm.. not yet I think :-]

If the application is just sitting there without any print-specific progress 
dialog, I would not expect that quiting the application at that point would 
have any effect on my ongoing print-job.

So in that case I would go for detaching unconditionally.

Can you update kdecore from CVS and see if KProcess::detach() does what you 
need?
