Using dcop in Superkaramba python scripts.

Creating dcop client directly causes problems. It tries to create kapplication and superkaramba has already created one. Getting dcop client from already existing superkaramba kapplication works.

Here's an example of theme py file that opens another theme and when it's clicked closes it using dcop.

import dcop
import dcopext
import karamba
from qt import QString, QCString
from kdecore import *

def closeTheme(theme):
  # Get superkaramba application object
  kapp = KApplication.kApplication()
  # Get dcop client
  dc = kapp.dcopClient()
  # Get applications
  apps = dc.registeredApplications()
  # Reduce list to only superkaramba instances
  apps = [ str(app) for app in apps if str(app)[:12] == 'superkaramba']
  # Call closeTheme to all superkarambas
  for app in apps:
    d = dcopext.DCOPApp(app, dc)
    d.KarambaIface.closeTheme(theme)

def initWidget(widget):
  karamba.openTheme('2.theme')

def widgetClicked(widget, x, y, button):
  closeTheme('2')
