Lauri noticed something similar recently -- has quit() moved as well? It
caused some consternation, and while we were able to re-discover all the
required functionality, it was a pain in the butt.
As George points out, a DCOP interface should be considered a published,
public API for which compatibility is required to be preserved. (I remember
KNotes' interface change, which even caused data loss in some cases with
applications still expecting the old interface).
