OK, since KCMs are now installed as services we need a new way to define the 
hierarchy (or can the XDG menu be adapted somehow to work for services?)

As I've written something like that before for settings dialogs perhaps we can 
reuse that? See

(especially 4. The .setdlg file for hierarchical (TreeList) page layouts).
