the good news is, that XSMP isn't strictly requiring X11. :D
i'm not sure what qt thinks about that issue, though.
in any case, talking over the standard protocol is the *right* thing and
should be done unless it is impossible.

if the issue is not having the confirmation shutdown dialog "saved
away", the dialog should disable dpms (and thus also the screen saver)
explicitly.

as you said on irc, it was sent by the dcop server when it was about
to die. that's "somewhat" different timing than in dario's commit. the
dcop thing comes closer to listening for dbus telling that kdeinit
disconnected or something like that.
