Ok, I got the above to work by using dcop.

I have a couple of other questions:
1) How to know when the KPanelExtension initializes its KConfig ? Currently, 
calling config() in the constructor of my panel extension returns 0. So, I am 
getting it in another frequently called method. Is there a better way to do 
this ?

2) Is there some mechanism to remove the extension ? I have a button on my 
extension which allows to remove without having to use the context menu. I 
looked around everywhere, and it seems that the mechanisms to remove 
extension are very much inaccessible as in ExtensionManager.
