Comment 26 for bug 494067

On my TODO is a general concept now to recognize which desktop is used.
To get started with something practical it would be _very_ nice if someone from KDE would implement a nsKDEShellService like the nsGNOMEShellService implementing this interface:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/shell/public/nsIShellService.idl

It seems that at least something can be done using dcop commandline. I wonder if there is C/C++ interface as well (preferably w/o linking all of KDE for it).

I could do the work to make the mozilla specific stuff work since it would need some restructuring to either load the GNOME or the KDE shell service.
