Right, so what about
KActionCollection &IPlugin::createGuiActions()

This API would also clearly divide responsibilities. Mainwindow has to create 
a KXMLGUIClient for each plugin and it will do that in a private function that 
would ask for xmlfile, actions and then construct a gui client. Therefore 
decoupling xmlfile getter from actions getter is not a problem.
