I see two possibilities here. 1. Use dbus to communicate with stage(kpresenter) 2. Use plasma in stage. Using dbus has the benefit of stage not depending on plasma. It allows to develop the project indipendently of stage. True when using dbus stage needs to be running. It could also be started from the plasma frontend. The amound of data is not that big so that it would be a problem to transfer the data via dbus. If used plasma internally it should be made sure that this is an optional dependency that is not needed if the user doesn't want it.
