Sure - currently my klocker project runs off the titlebar caption which nearly 
always reflects the current file. Even if Kate has 100 files opened, each 
Kate window only has one file with focus at any given time.

Thanks for the input - I'll investigate and see if this is the case. My 
thought at this point is that in order to provide a context for every 
application there would have to be some sort of internal abstraction layer 
that translates the particulars of each app (context for Konsole returns the 
CWD, context for Korganizer returns the active calender file with full path, 
etc). Sounds like Kparts will add many applications in one broad stroke, and 
I'll then just make small patches to the other apps as I need them. 

Sean.
