after looking at this it became apparent to me that we really need two 
different kinds of servicemenus: global and application specific.

perhaps an easy way to do this would be to put the actual .desktop entries 
into kde4/services/ and use KServiceTypeTrader to locate them, then load the 
extra data from the .desktop file. done correctly, we could even provide a 
KSycocaFactory that adds entries to sycoca for servicemenus. then we could 
query for them -and- load all the data for them (actions, etc) directly out 
the sycoca. this should make it stupidly fast, and we can filter on things 
like X-KDE-ParentApp and Mimetypes=
