kded implements this as service for kdedmodules.

See kdedmodule.h 

For each client that the kdedmodule services the kdedmodule can store an 
object. When the client disconnects from dcop, the object gets automatically 
deleted.

If there are no objects left the kdedmodule will get an "idle()" signal after 
a configurable timeout period. The kdedmodule can then chose to delete 
itself.

Cheers,
Waldo
