Thanks very much for the response!  I didn't know about the DCOP-Qt 
bridge so that might be the hint I need, but, so far, no success.

I've been experimenting on a non-hung instance of kde, and so far don't 
seem to have hit on the magical incantation to make anything happen.  
IMHO, the closest I've gotten is when I tried the following (at least 
DCOP seemed to recognize it as a command), but the previous tab was not 
activated...

I did this:

rhk at s17:~$ dcop konqueror-26389 
qt/KXMLGUIClient-KActionCollection/activateprevtab

and got this "feedback" at the CLI:

QCStringList functions()
QCStringList interfaces()
QCStringList properties()
bool setProperty(QCString,QVariant)
QVariant property(QCString)
void deleteLater()
void activate()

Any further hints or links would be appreciated.
