Yes: The KIO notifications can never reach the object if it is created on the 
stack (i.e. without the 'new' operator).
Unless we would use KIO::Job::setAutoErrorHandlingEnabled() in knewstuff. But 
then still other errors could occur without being able to see them.

Does the dcop command not work for you? Or this is about something else?

On a side note, please have a look at http://www.kstuff.org/wiki/.
I have already implemented re-using upload information, but there might be 
other details.

On the server side, I have been even busier, more or less the whole 
upload-process-download cycle can be automated now, and I'm working on an 
admin frontend to moderate entries and allow translators to add summary 
translations etc.

Imagine that a lot of people use those features, then you don't want by hand 
look at which version is newer, recreate the XML file, find out what icons 
are missing etc.
But a server to run it on has yet to be found, ideally not running anything 
else (for security reasons) and operated under KDE e.V. flag.
I will try to make a proposal to the sysadmins, maybe there's some hardware 
left :)
If individual web pages (like on edu.kde.org) want to display what is 
available, this will be possible similar to how kde-apps.org entries are 
currently shown at the KDE frontpage, or even better, with preview images, 
direct download links etc.

What do you think about this?
