I do not know anything about corba, but what I read on kde-devel makes me
believe, you are right.

My way is, haveing a daemonprocess running and a linklibrary with
compiled in information where to find a standart configfile which
says how to conntact the daemon. Of course, the librarycall allows
you to specify an alternative location for the configfile.(See other
posting or example-clients in the source.)

Would be really nice. I have defined a way in my NetMgr-protokol to
get some thing like cps-rate, but nothing written that get the
infomation from the system until now :-( .
