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.

Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right
answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of
confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
