Definetly not, we didn't go through the pain with KUrl for nothing :)

Project managers are just normal kdevelop plugins implementing a specific
interface (project/interfaces/iprojectfilemanager in the platform), so yes
they do have a .desktop file.

IIRC we already have some custom properties, maybe one of them can be
re-used to indicate that. Else feel free to add a new one, simply add it to
kdevelopplugin.desktop in interfaces/ in kdevplatform.

The other options are not even worth considering - IMHO :)
