I would say that when a KDE application is started, that it should not start 
the DCOP server when KDE is not running.  Some people have complained that 
this is the biggest problem with running a minimal X with a fullscreen 
konsole, and I can speak from experience that starting Konsole on my 
SparcStation 20 w/2x125MHz CPUs & 360Mb RAM from ratpoison (minimal window 
manager) takes 3-5 seconds to start.  When wanting to run it at startup, it 
was quite annoying to have a 3-5 second delay to get started in an 
environment that otherwise started instantly.
