Looks good to me, but see below.

Hmm, the idea is good, but coming up with a good API isn't easy.
Reason: action collections are autocreated, usually.
So developers would have to remember doing actionCollection()->setTitle( i18n("Editor Component") ).

Ah, but here's another idea: we already know the 'parent' of the action collection
("Kate", "KHTML Part" etc.). It's the KInstance. And I see that the KActionCollection ctors
know take a KInstance.

Can you try if actionCollection->instance()->aboutData()->programName()
returns the right thing in most cases ? (test all those pointers ;)
