Looking a little bit at dcop, I cannot found a function createNewTab or 
something like. I found function createNewWindow but could figure out how to 
make it run :

dcop konqueror-4420 KonquerorIface createNewWindow('www.google.fr')
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

Is there any hidden createNewTab function??
