Well it's not nonsense; a system without the Application servicetype defined is a very broken
system, given that this servicetype is installed by kdelibs. Most likely you are hitting the ksycoca
bug that I just fixed.

Keep in mind that Q_ASSERT helps developers noticing very serious problems.
The end user won't hit it.
