559289 is my big commit that introduced KCModuleInit

Wow, there's a lot of documentation I've never looked at. Is it useful to have 
that in the _user_guide? Shouldn't this be on techbase instead? (Also kcminit 
is in kdebase-workspace...)

Anyway, the way it works with KDE 4 is that kcminit code needs to install a 
KCModuleInit service .desktop file. That desktop file can be combined for the 
KCModule and KCModuleInit parts. The keys for KCModuleInit are documented in 
the kcmoduleinit.desktop servicetype file.

Take a look at the kcminit code in kdebase/workspace/kcminit/main.cpp. It's 
not much code...
