Remote control of programs is a means to an end. What I need is to be able to do useful things with the data.

Consider an example from the beginning of the thread: images collection of digikam. Or the mail folders of kmail. Or your addressbook.

I'm not saying that the interface that dcop is not highly useful. I do say that it still doesn't help if the GUI itself isn't up.
