On the other hand, KService currently has no dependency to QT UI components (widgets etc.) but KMoreTools should provide some GUI.

> As said in https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/121478/ I created a set of classes called "KMoreTools" that should help with "more tools" scenarios like this one. The corresponding wiki page is now https://community.kde.org/Scratchpad/KMoreToolsFramework. The code examples there are not up-to-date, the latest demo code is in this RR.
