 KDE has its own RPC mechanism called DCOP, which, famously, was
hacked together in about 20 minutes.  KDE 3 predates d-bus by quite
some years so it was never integrated in.

 again, KDE3 predates pulseaudio so it never had pulseaudio as a
critical dependency.

 basically for all the insidious fuck-ups that have been made (and by
a funny coincidence *entirely* funded primarily by redhat), KDE3
side-steps absolutely all of them.

 it is also not insignificant that KDE3 is primarily a *European* endeavour.
