as it should be already, so its not a problem.

Ideally, but everytime I look into this, it seems that the changes to the dcop 
server are kind of invasive.  What I had envisioned, was every time an 
application made a dcop call that went through the server the server would 
make note of the caller and would use that to increment the refcount for the 
dcop connection.  When the caller unregisters from the server, then the 
refcount goes down.    Where I got stuck was how to have the client ask the 
dcop server "hey is there anything still registerd that has talked to me?".

i might take some time and look at this issue later this winter, but now time 
and energy is kind of keeping it as a small problem.
