I don't know how the servicetypes work, but if you can mark a part as 
supporting GUI (default), no-GUI and optional-GUI then Neil's part can use 
the latter.

Konq will happily embed an optional-GUI part and still call setWidget(), 
Malte's sound player will use the same part, but without the setWidget() 
call.

If I see this all right (hardly knowing the KParts API) that would be the most 
elegant solution, because it avoids a lot of duplication.

Still, it's Neil's code and me not knowing KParts that well, so I may be 
terribly wrong here. Apologies in that case :-)
