The problem is that the connectDCOPSignal method isn't added until the 
constructor is completed. I'm not sure if thats a bug that can be fixed, so 
you need to have a method to do the connection. Also you can't have the arg 
names in a DCOP method signature. I'm not sure what you're intending to do - 
did you mean to define a DCOP signal? For that you need a 'k_dcop_signals' 
declaration.

    k_dcop_signals 'void notifyHistoryEntry(KonqHistoryEntry, QCString)'
    ...
    emit notifyHistoryEntry(entry, saveid)

See the example code in korundum/rubylib/examples/dcop/dcopsignal.rb

The app needs to look like this instead:

require 'Korundum'

class KonqHistory < KDE::ListView
    k_dcop 'void notifyHistoryEntry(KonqHistoryEntry, QCString)'

    def initialize( )
        super( nil, "KonqHistory" )
        addColumn( i18n( "Konqueror History" ) )
    end

    def doConnect( )
        connectDCOPSignal( nil, nil,
        'notifyHistoryEntry(KonqHistoryEntry, QCString)', 
	    'notifyHistoryEntry(KonqHistoryEntry, QCString)', false )
    end
	 
    def notifyHistoryEntry( entry, saveid )
        puts "ENTRY ADDED"
    end
end

about = KDE::AboutData.new( "KonquerorHistory", "Konqueror History", "0.1" )
KDE::CmdLineArgs.init( ARGV, about )

konqHistory = KDE::UniqueApplication.new( )
list = KonqHistory.new
list.resize( 300, 200 )
list.doConnect

konqHistory.mainWidget = list
list.show
konqHistory.exec
