The API docs need some updating then (will do so). 

The problem is that it gets passed "Settings/Components/kresources.desktop" 
and that kresources.desktop no longer lives in that sub-directory.

I'm in the process of adding KService::serviceByStorageId() which is able to 
find stuff like "Settings/Components/kresources.desktop" despite it being 
moved. I will change KCMultiDialog to use that.
