They're used both in JuK and KSig (granted, I wrote both of them plus those 
methods in KApplication).

Really I'd like to see that style of usage used much more widely.  It's a 
whole lot easier to implement application-wide cut (or copy, paste, etc.) 
with:

KStdAction::cut(kapp, SLOT(cut()), actionCollection);

Than to implement special-casing all over the application.
