But the suspending kapp->dcopClient() used to suspend -any- incoming calls
in the application, didn't it? The "application IPC channel" is used by "system-wide" (kde-wide)
calls as well.

[OK not for style/palette/etc. changes in kde3 since we used another 
protocol for that, KIPC, but that's a detail]

The point is that if you cut out the IPC event processing into the application,
it cuts out everyone, not just one script...
