Some applications have the Qt<>DCOP Bridge enabled, i.e. an interface to call slots of Qt objects through DCOP You can get a list by calling the function "objects" of interface "qt" on the commandline or in KDCOP, for example dcop konqueror-somePID qt objects and search there, e.g. using grep "up" for example would be dcop konqueror-PID qt/KXMLGUIClient-KActionCollection/up activate > *) Is it possible to simulate a keypress in a KDE application in response > to an event triggered by the infrared receiver? I think there is an X11 application that can generate X11 events for a specified target window Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer <kevin.krammer@xxxxxx> Qt/KDE Developer, Debian User Moderator: www.mrunix.de (German), www.qtcentre.org
