           Summary: have the equivalent of dcop 'reparseConfiguration' in D-
                    Bus
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: han.holl tietoenator com


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

We have a loosely coupled network of about 60 systems all over the country.
These systems are only occasionally connected with out network via PPP.
I had a script running that created .desktop entries in ~/.kde/share/apps/konsole/
and then ran dcop konsole reparseConfiguration.
This resulted in a session drop down menu that showed me which machines are connected, and
I could ssh to them immediately.

I don't know if this is a compelling use case, but I certainly liked it. Enough to be running
the konsole from 3.5.9 right now under KDE 4.0.4
