saving contents of applications with a frozen kde desktop

[Sebastian Reitenbach]

Hi again,

The dcop interface looked interesting first, but this only works for kde 
applications aware of dcop. As the dcop interface is easy to use I was able to 
send messages to e.g. kate and to tell it to close a given document. I have 
not found a save method that I can send to kate. unfortunately a popupwindow, 
warning me that the file was modified and if I want to save them prior 
closing. With a frozen desktop a bit useless. So I do believe this is the 
wrong way to go.

Anybody has an other idea how to save the work of open (non KDE) applications 
in a frozen KDE desktop?

Kind regards
Sebastian
