   Yes it was the reusing of course.  I guess non-blocking dcop calls should 
be used, and if there is no response within a certain timeframe, then start a 
new process.

   Actually it seems inconsistent.  On my laptop it showed the old caption, on 
my desktop it did not.  However both showed the old favicon.  I guess that 
has to be fixed too.  I don't know where it needs to be fixed, but it is very 
confusing currently.
