Yes, but maybe I won't see an icon for Ruby in Dolphin. Or if I have other
ruby sources I will see 'main' alongside 'clock_config.rb' or whatever and
it looks really ugly.

Another suggestion would be to have an X-Plasma-DefaultMainScript in the
ScriptEngine desktop file for a particular language:

X-KDE-ServiceTypes=Plasma/ScriptEngine
Type=Service
Icon=text-x-script
X-KDE-Library=krubypluginfactory
X-KDE-PluginKeyword=plasma_scriptengine_ruby/applet.rb
X-EngineName=ruby-applet-script
X-Plasma-API=ruby-script
X-Plasma-DefaultMainScript=main.rb
X-Plasma-ComponentTypes=Applet

At the moment I have a PackageStructure class 'Ruboid' for Ruby just so I
can use a name of 'main.rb' for the main script.
