No objections against improving KDELIRC. What I menat was: if kdetv can be 
configured to be single- or multi-instance, one of those will not work with 
KDELIRC (I'm not talking about startup but about normal operation). KDELIRC 
looks for DCOPname "kdetv-PID" if the profile is for multi-instance, but if 
kdetv runs as single-instance (DCOPname "kdetv"), KDELIRC can not find it. So 
if you add an option to kdetv to make this configurable, you would break 
KDELIRC interaction.

I'd prefer improving KDELIRC, too.
