python-dcop fails to connect if at first dcopserver didn't start

[Qishuai Liu]

If python-dcop makes a call when dcopserver is not start, it will no longer make any method calls after starting dcopserver.

Here is an example. I was using python and dcop to get the playlist of amarok.

(At first amarok and dcopserver was not running.)

DCOP was removed from KDE 4, therefore I am closing this bug as invalid.

Thank you for helping us make Kubuntu the best operating system ever.
