Just as a side note: locatable service menus would also allow to have 
additional locations in the future without needing to change code.
Such an situation would be nice if a freedesktop.org "standard" emerges for 
service menus. ISVs would really like this (based on private communication 
with a developer of Adobe's Unix team)
