Lubos already has the ability to bind (arbitrary) mouse gestures to  
(arbitrary) DCOP calls in KHotKeys.  It is also written as a KControl  
module.  I don't know what his plans are -- i.e. if this is going to be  
integrated into KDE CVS at some point, but if so, it might make more sense  
to bind these gestures to some of the relevant DCOP calls.

My personal opinion is that sending users digging through the Konq DCOP  
interface is a bit harsh (since I didn't find basic navigation things --  
forward, back, etc. -- in about a minute of looking), so it might be nice  
to have a configuration widget that serves as a layer of sheilding (for the  
users protection :-) ) to common DCOP calls (in Konq and elsewhere).  For  
example "Open a New Window in Konqueror" is a little nicer than  
"konqueror-15566 KonquerorIface createNewWindow ...".  ;-) 
 
Anyway -- just thought I would let it be know that something similar exists.   
I don't know if that has any impact on the current effort.   
 
Also, I am not on this list and I don't know if Lubos is.  It might be  
worthwhile to CC us in on replies on this thread. 
 
Cheers,
