there's a servicemenu howto at: 

  http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/servicemenus.html

it needs a few updates to reflect current developments, though it's pretty 
current. it misses a few minor things like TryExec, and some oddities with 
shell commands... but it's fairly complete.

as for icon overlays, i don't think that's exposed in the plugin APIs, but 
were i to hazard a guess w/out looking at the code (queue dfaure stepping in 
here to correct me ;) i would say it's likely in the KFileIVI and IconView 
code ... improvements to that stuff could be quite cool and generally 
applicable; e.g. may be better in konqi itself rather than as a plugin.
