Well, I'm still not quite sure what the groups variable is supposed to mean in 
KModuleInfo or why you would like to store that kind of info in KCModuleInfo 
in the first place.

KServiceGroup::baseGroupName allows you to identify a service group such as 
"Settings/Screensavers" by a unique name (e.g. "screensavers") so that when 
"Settings/Screensavers" gets moved around to "Settings/LookNFeel/
Screensavers" we can still find it back by its unique name.

I don't think that is what you are looking for.

In kdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol/modules.cpp 
ConfigModuleList::readDesktopEntriesRecursive(const QString &path)
the location in the visual tree is given by "path". 

The following hackish patch makes it work somewhat again:

Waldo
