You can't blame KDE for providing mechanisms that only work in the KDE world. It's fine for Python to provide Python-specific solutions for issues that have no cross-platform native solution.

Also keep in mind that we're talking about resources used internally by the application. They don't *need* to be accessible outside the application. So I don't think the KDE argument applies here. -- Greg
