hm.. but if X-KDE-ServiceTypes=Plasma/Applet,Plasma/Containment, then these 
two queries:

KServiceTypeTrader::self()->query("Plasma/Applet", constraint);
KServiceTypeTrader::self()->query("Plasma/Containment", constraint);

will both return the item, no?

but since Containment IsA Applet and the containment behaviour is only 
activated when:

a) Corona calls setIsContainment(true), and
b) the object is used to group applets (e.g. things like setLocation, etc are 
called)

then this probably works? though i'm not sure how exactly since 

of course, if X-KDE-ServiceTypes=Plasma/Containment then the first query will 
fail and the second will kick in.

what may be needed is a way to tell Applet::load to return a Containment 
rather than an applet.

i see you have committed (huzzah!) so i'll play with this a bit and see what i 
come up with.. the compiler is usually more accurate than my eyes ;)
