Every user's KDE application will start their respective basic KDE 
infrastructure, including their DCOP server.

I am not sure if this works at all, but I guess you could make the target 
user's files all group writable and have all others in this group as well.
This includes the socket for the DCOP server, which might be someplace outside 
the target user's home directory.

I really wouldn't advise doing this.

Cheers,
Kevin
