Well it would help to keep this on k-c-d, which I think is the proper
place ;-).
Also.... you need to read the code more closely :-). The dbus path is
two parts, one which appears to be the class name of the KMainWindow
(which in my example is the boring "MainWindow_1"), which is sanitized,
and one which ultimately comes from KAboutData::appName. Given that, I
wonder if the sanitizing in KMainWindow is actually needed (I don't know
how you'd get non-identifier characters in there in the first place, but
since the code exists I have to assume it is possible). However, whether
or not appData is a valid identifier is a separate issue.
So KMainWindow should probably be fixed regardless of what we do with
appData; might as well get the ball rolling:
