1) because name arguments to ctors look deprecated nowadays, so people would have felt it to be an error
2) because the adaptors aren't created yet in the derived class [see kde-commits discussion]
3) because in each and every kded module, that name had to be passed as argument in 2 places
(the non-standard factory method, and the derived-module constructor). Much typing for nothing...
4) and most of all, because kded has the info in the first place, so it calls setModuleName() 
automatically, after creating the module, which takes care of the dbus registration.

Nope.

Yep, all automated now.
