Thanks, that works (except that topLevelWidget() is actually
QApplication::topLevelWidgets() ;)

    DCOPClient *dcopClient = new DCOPClient();
    dcopClient->attach();

    long windowId = QApplication::topLevelWidgets()->first()->winId();

    QByteArray params;
    QDataStream stream(params, IO_WriteOnly);
    stream << info << windowId;

    dcopClient->send( "kded", "kpasswdserver",
"addAuthInfo(KIO::AuthInfo, long int)", params );
