Services.idl ...

We also use Services.idl to get log messages from the server. This also
leads me to another question: does the KTaskBrowser will be updated
according to RTT 2.0 ?

That is not in my planning yet. Demand creates patches however :-)

It has been removed from the IDL to see if anyone starts yelling since
it's easier to remover first and add later than the other way around.

The 'standard' way would be to call:

CAnyArguments_var empty = new CAnyArguments();
CService_var corbaservice = proxy->getProvider("corbaservice");
Any_var ret = corbaservice->callOperation("shutdown", empty.in() );

With these notes: getProvider could/should be renamed to getService.
In Python, this would have been a one-liner...

The retrieval of log() lines is also an issue. As the 'generalist',
I'd prefer that this is a service too, where ret contains a new log
line each time, but I'm easily convinced to streamline the API if
there is a need for it.
