I've checked KApplication code and it seems that it creates a DBus service unconditionally. Which is pretty weird.
Is that true that _every single_ application wants to be exposed via DBus? I guess, no. I wouldn't call this requirement “special” at all.

I'm not sure about your freezing rules, but adding a parameter with a compatible default value shouldn't be a big deal, right?
