=>
=>      #! /usr/bin/python
=>      import pcop
=>      import pydcop
=>
=>      and after that I'm verstumpfed.

=>      Also, I ran kdcop to see the tree but when I select python
=>      mode I don't
=>      see that it actuallty does anything. Is it suppoed to tell me
=>      what to do
=>      in python or does it not work yet?
=>You could use something like this:
=>
=>#!/usr/bin/env python
=>from pydcop import *
=>
=>#This will create a pointer (as it were) to the dcop object
=>desktop = DCOPApplication("kwin")
=>
=>#You can then perform all the actions that you can on the command line
=>currentDesktop = desktop.KWinInterface.currentDesktop()

Thanks, this solved my problem, but I'd also like to find out how (or 
if) the Extra -> Language Mode menu option works. I don't see anything 
happen if I pull down any of the three options, Shell, C++ or Python.

Anyone for that?
