I'm confused by the possible double negation. Do you mean isServiceRegistered returns true?
So it does see kded5 running on the current DBus session, right?

Oh. I think you found a real bug :-)
Does this patch help?

The unittests have to work without kded, so they didn't catch this. Anyway I'm killing that kded
dependency as soon as I find the time.

Well if you cannot even accept a secondary process then indeed KIO won't be an option for you.
But why such a strict requirement? This is no problem on Windows; is this about Android or iOS then?
