What are other applications going to do with the object path of the window 
object? We need a standard interface there so standard actions are possible. 
Is there any standard you're thinking of?

For example, this KMail composer window I'm writing the email in has the 
following interfaces:

org.kde.kmail.mailcomposer
org.kde.kontact.KMail.Composer
org.kde.kontact.KXmlGuiWindow
org.kde.kontact.KMainWindow
com.trolltech.Qt.QMainWindow
com.trolltech.Qt.QWidget
org.kde.KMainWindow
