You are right. But this way there are problems to use dcop from scripts.
Or is there a way to send a dcop command to qtvision without knowing the 
process id?

I have also an idea to solve my problem with lirc. I just need to check with 
dcop if kwintw is already running, and start it up only if it is not.
