Fine, thanks.

Ouch. How did that slip me? Seems my test environment needs to be cleaned up.
Will use Kevin's proposal to fix this, thanks.

Good idea. Will try to add something to kde-apps.org tonight and update the 
lsm. Also need to add an entry to bugs.kde.org.

Perhaps introspection is not yet completely supported, as all D-Bus support is 
hand-crafted. Need perhaps to add a macro to the adaptor class. Will consider. 
Could also be a bug in qdbusviewer.

You need to restart kded, because the kded-module used by the network:/ kio-
slave only tries to connect to the cagibi daemon on start. It doesn't detect 
that cagibi service got installed.
Also does not yet try to reconnect if cagibid disappears (well, should not 
disappear :), never crashed, for me).

Any idea how one can detect that a D-Bus service is installed which only gets 
activated trough the D-Bus call and the service file? Does D-Bus also signal  
a new available service, started on demand?

No idea how this can be related. In theory Cagibi is just a standalone qt-only 
daemon program, accessed via D-Bus from the kded module networkwatcher. This 
module is queried by the network: kio-slave. No idea how plasma-desktop could 
be frozen by that. Could just be that networkwatcher freezes kded if talking 
to cagibid, and this freezes plasma-desktop. But I have never seen 
networkwatcher to freeze.
Can you try to query kded by qdbus on the commandline when plasma-desktop is 
frozen?

Will tarball and start the release of 0.1.1 around sunday noon.

Thanks for the feedback
Friedrich
