Thinking of this a bit further, can DCOP be used for dynamic object
traversal? E.g.
   dcop konqueror-xxx html-widgetx pluginx
shows all members of this plugin (applet).
   dcop konqueror-xxx html-widgetx pluginx myobject
shows all members of this applet's member object.
Then we would need a JS->DCOP implementation in khtml_plugin.so.
This also looks a bit like the new Mozilla -> corba -> plugin stuff.
