To answer my own question - using 'kdcop' and browsing a konsole session, I
can see that 'sendSession' is a session-specific dcop command.  So, to send
ls to a specific session:

  $ dcop konsole-16527 session-1 sendSession "ls -l"

Cool beans.

UNIX is user-friendly. It's just a bit picky about who its friends are.
