tv-out + sessions +amarok = confusion :)

Hello there fellow kdeholics

I have a thing on mind that bothers me

I use nVIDIA

built-in tv-out thing in there driver, and that starts another session of kde on the "other" display (the TV).

The problem is that my TV often get left on after i'm done watching, and i would like
to have some info about the music i'm playing on the computer on the TV.

I'm using amaroK for the music, and dcop didnt seem to work for brining up the OSD, cus i suppose that there is no amarok running in that session, and i guess that karamba would produce something simmilar(nothing that is

).

Any one who have any idea how i can get some nice looking info from amarok in one session to the desktop of another session of KDE?

I guess I can change the tv-oout option to just expand the destop, or maybe i can use dcop in some way to talk "cross-session wise"?
