assuming the answer to this is "no, you'll have to do it the hard way", i have 
since done it the hard way (taking hints from kcmfiletypes) and made a (imho) 
fairly robust method for setting a prefered service for a given mimetype. is 
it worth a patch to kdelibs; say KMimeType::setPreferedService() or 
KServiceType::makePreferedService()?
