Cristoph told me:

If it works with actions stored as member vars, we should use it.

The problem is: Most plugins use KXMLGUI to put in their context actions. That 
will probably get cleared when we use defaultContextMenu. But maybe we can use 
it as well - dunno, I hate this xml stuff it's totally incomprehensible for me.
