My dbus tree

I use two main applications for multimedia or music listening in KDE. One is
pithos, and the other is gmusicbrowser. None of my multimedia keys painted on
my keyboard work with these applications ( or any other applications other then
amarok). They did not even work with juk. I have found that many gtk apps use
gnome-settings-daemon which cannot be run in kde. They also register themselves
with dbus. My wish is that KDE would "play nice" with applications that request
gnome-settings-daemon, and forward this request on to the appropriate library
or service in KDE, but if that is not possible I wish that KDE would use dbus
to issue commands to these applications. An example of a good shortcut is
fn+f12 to skip a song.
