Hi Andras -- thanks very much for your response.

Just a technical clarification:

I believe the problem is that the KPart is essentially dlopened, which
means it is considered an extension of the larger program (in this case,
quanta).

If I understand DCOP correctly, this is not a problem since the
cvsservice and quanta run as separate programs, merely communicating
through some form of socket-based mechanism.  At any rate, it wouldn't
be a problem anyway since the cvsservice (both the server and the client
library) are LGPLed (unlike the cervisia kpart).

Ben.

(Fixing the kdevelop-devel address also, which was incorrect in my
initial post.)
