OK, fine, I have no problem with that - I only have a problem with the
resulting situation:

    If you move kdcop to kdsedk *without* also moving KHotKeys,
    the result would be that KHotKeys would be runnable from base,
    but the kdcop functionallity would be missing.

So this would mean: cripple another base program by moving kdcop away.

Not good.

So either ove *both* of them, or neither.

Don't you agree to this?
