Desktop-automation?

[Janne Ojaniemi]

I'm currently downloading the Klax KDE3.4 live-CD, and a thought occured to 
me: Are there any pkans to add desktop-automation to KDE? OS X Tiger will 
have something of the sort, how about KDE?

I'm not simply asking thins because "The stuff OS X has is very cool, and we 
should have it as well!". I started thinking about this, and only then I 
remembered that OS X will have it as well. The particular reason I started to 
think about it is that I started to download the live-CD, and I will soon 
leave the computer for a while. When I get back, I need to burn the image in 
to a bootable CD. I started to think that it would be pretty convenient if I 
could simply tell KDE to "download this ISO-file here, and after you have 
finished downloading it, burn it on a CD that is in this particular drive". 
When I would get back to the machine, I would have a bootable live-CD waiting 
for me. Instead of having to manually burn the CD after the file has been 
downloaded.

Of course, that is simply one example of the stuff this kind of functionality 
could be used. Are there any plans for this kind of functionality? With DCOP 
and the like, I think it could be technically doable.
