As I found out myself the hard way, and documented in the KTrader online doc, 
X-KDE-Library is a bit special because it is published as "Library" in the service
properties, and not "X-KDE-Library" like one would expect.

The answer to "where" is: kservice.cpp

So that we know which type they have.

It's called Library.

No and no :)
