Howto get current Konsole information

From searching on here I've gotten a lot of good information on using dcop on a konsole to manipulate sessions.

Such as starting a new konsole, opening a new session, etc.

But what I can't find is how to get the id of the current konsole I am in? I don't want to start a new konsole, only a new session. To do that I need the current konsole id. Anyone know how to do that?

Now, I can get the id for the most recent konsole using:

Code:

kon=$(dcop "konsole*" | tail -1)

But that often is not the id for the konsole I am currently working in.

Anyone?

Issuing dcop will show your current konsole id.

Issuing dcop konsole-<konsole id here> will show the sessions running under that konsole id.

I hope this is what you were looking for.

Issuing dcop with show all of the konsole id's, not just the one I am using.

i.e.:

Code:

> dcop

konsole-19107

kwin

kicker

konsole-2606

kdesktop

konsole-5546

So how do I know (via scripting) which one is my current konsole?

Anyone... anyone... Beuller?

I was hoping there would be some sort of kluge for this.
