... as long as the app is running. Otherwise you'll either have to start the 
app to have the dcop interface available (bad idea IMHO once you support 20 
apps or more), or deal with the config files (good luck, especially when 
applications change their configs between version).
Meybe there should be a way for apps to declare to one central place 
(KConfig*?) which settings are just cache settings and can be removed. I know 
this puts a lot of burden on the application developer, and somehow feels 
clumsy, but I cannot come up with a better way to detect such entries.
