Is there are reason that you need to be running the KDE window manager to use DCOP?

I am "using gnome" so to speak, but often start up konqueror and see the DCOP server start up with all its glory... I don't have time to try this ATM but hope to soon. Possibly someone else will beat me to it.

I don't see why thing are made out to be so window-manager-specific, when in fact X will pass all sorts of messages around. I get the feeling that personal preferences and simple habit drowns out technical feasibility in these sorts of cases :)


Perhaps i'm mistaken, but i thought that DCOP was part of KDE, which is not just a window manager but a desktop environment, adding functionality on top of X. If one uses functionality that is part of the add-on environment, then one would expect it to not be present if the add-on environment was not present.
