Version: 4.6 (using KDE 4.5.95) OS: All I have filed bug #263006 where I complained that kwordquiz lost its ability to switch keyboard layout on the fly after DBus methods of KXKB have been renamed. Decision to rename methods of exported kdelibs API that can be used by external programs is already a not-so-good idea. What was even worse is that kwordquiz had these names hardcoded and I had to make the same modification to 4 unrelated source files. Such error would have never happened if DBus interface names had been registered in a single well-known place. I suggest that kdelibs have a well-known header file (say, kdelibs-dbus-interfaces.h) that lists names of every interface that KDE (or at least, its core components) exports to DBus. Making such interfaces registry will not avoid surprises to external applications if you ever decide to rename your methods but at least programs that make up KDE SC will have coherent idea of how DBus is to be used. Reproducible: Always
Is this still a problem or a reasonable request?
