Reading the clipboard from a KIO slave

[Oliver Stieber]

Hi,
   I'm trying to write a KioSlave to for the
clipboard.

QApplication::clipboard() returns a valid object and I
can call things like supportsSelection() without any
problems.
But as soon as I try to get or set any data from the
clipboard I get an exception.

I assume this is because my KIOSlave doesn't get
loaded like a normal application and so
QApplication::clipboard() isn't initilized properly.

Any ideas of how I can initilize
QApplication::clipboard() or get hold of the clipboard
(possibly use an external application and dcop, hmm
nasty).
