that's because when i said i'm adding it, i meant it.. i've got the code here 
on disk, and its less than an hour old... it'll be in CVS later tonight ;-) 
there are dcop functions for just about every other type of button EXCEPT 
application buttons =/

yep... just do: `dcop kicker` or `dcop kicker Panel` ... there's also the very 
handy kdcop program which offers a very nice GUI (with nice DnD support for 
crafting dcop call from the list)

if you have a version of kde that follows the freedesktop.org standard, then 
you can just pop the .desktop file in $PREFIX/share/applications, where that 
is... often it's /usr, but not always ... 

otherwise it needs to be put into the appropriate subdir (For it's category) 
of $PREFIX/share/applnk/ ... this method is being deprecated in favour of the 
freedesktop.org standard ...
