One idea, the other two desktop files contain a "%u" in their exec string. I 
have a faint memory there was some problem with this at a time, but I don't 
know any more. What happens if media:/ wants to call the service with an URL 
argument? Is a "%u" required?
How the KDE media support works internally is unfortunately a great mystery to 
me, I don't know where to look.
