I was going to provide an example, of showing no dcop stuff is running, starting up konqueror and showing that dcopserver started.... it does that on my system, but I am already running Quanta, a KDE-based editor.

Granted, this is on FC4 so it has "redhat's efforts to integrate gnome and kde".  I am running metacity, which IIRC is a gnome-based WM.

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.
