Besides this, the dispatcher also

 - releases resources (such as memory, sockets created in /tmp/mcop-<username>,
   connections, loaded libraries, ...)
 - outputs quite helpful debugging information about things you leaked, such
   as objects, types, data packets

in its destructor, so deleting the dispatcher at the end of the application
(or if you don't need it any longer) is usually a really good idea.

   Cu... Stefan
