Yes; well, namespace [or static method] if the class isn't supposed to be instanciated.

Well, I wouldn't say hundreds, but all kapp->startServiceBy... have moved to KToolInvocation, for
instance, so yes, it's intended to be classes with a particular purpose as 
opposed to KApplication being the all-in-one mess.

But maybe the screensaver enabling/disabling is part of a bigger set of... desktop operations?
Right now I can't think of other similar things that app might want to do.
