The servicetype: yes, for sure, it should be there.

The kioslave: on one hand, we can't have all kioslaves in kio; on the other 
hand, this one indeed has specific API in KIO (PreviewJob), which doesn't work 
if kio_thumbnail isn't there. Given that kio_thumbnail has no additional 
required dependency (apart from libjpeg), I am OK with it moving to the KIO 
framework.
