If it's a kde app, perhaps dcop can drive it ..... I guess it's the same 
purpose for the futur dbus component ? (should work with the next kde and 
actual gnome ?)

from here : http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-faq.html
"  How does D-Bus differ from DCOP? 
 D-Bus is intentionally pretty similar to DCOP, and can be thought of as 
a "DCOP the next generation" suitable for sharing between the various open 
source desktop projects. 
 D-Bus is a bit more complex than DCOP, though the Qt binding for D-Bus should 
not be more complex for programmers. The additional complexity of D-Bus 
arises from its separation of object references vs. bus names vs. interfaces 
as distinct concepts, and its support for one-to-one connections in addition 
to connections over the bus. The libdbus reference implementation has a lot 
of API to support multiple bindings and main loops, and performs data
 validation and out-of-memory handling in order to support secure applications 
such as the systemwide bus. 
 D-Bus is probably somewhat slower than DCOP due to data validation and 
more "layers" in the reference implementation. A comparison hasn't been 
posted to the list though. 
 At this time, KDE has not committed to using D-Bus, but there have been 
discussions of KDE bridging D-Bus and DCOP, or even changing DCOP's 
implementation to use D-Bus internally (so that GNOME and KDE would end up 
using exactly the same bus). See the KDE mailing list archives for some of 
these discussions."
