i'm a bit confused i must say
this can all be done either by
pure ruby (with qt and dcop methods)
or, with pure c++ with no kde/qt
involvement. ian geiser expressed
interest in the second possibility
as this provides a lightweight 
version with out the need to use 
a 10mb kde lib. but the pure ruby 
version really should be trivial 
now that you've cracked the big
nut - ruby kde bindings.
