NXFish: How to integrate with KDE?

[Waldo Bastian]

It should not be a problem to add this to kdebase/kioslave/fish
You mention a security-enhanced fish-server, what is enhanced about it? How is 
it supposed to be installed? Where? By whom?

Note that the regular fish io-slave uploads its own fish-server.

Cheers,
Waldo
