Then how to stop kdelirc from spawning a new kdetv everytime I hit the TV 
button on my rc? It does not seem to find apps named "kdetv-SOMEPID" and 
always launches another one. Unfortunately I used radio and tv buttons both 
for switching modes _and_ for starting the app if it's not already started.

That sounds like a bad joke with almost every app in CVS having a debug-area 
of its own.

That neither answers my question nor does it make the bug caused by that call 
any better.

There is no gui to switch to desktop mode so it either isn't always available 
or it's not meant to be visible because it's not working (yet ?).
