    not exactly. fish uses a perl program on the `server´ to answer the
kioslave's requests:

    yes, I noticed this too.
    
    take also in account that the code is rather unmaintained; last commit was:
Modified Fri Nov 19 17:40:19 2004 UTC (17 months, 3 weeks ago) by waba. maybe it
doesn't need maintenance, but given the performance problem it has, I guess it's
just old code. useful, but slow.
