no, but i'll be adding hooks to "remote" a Service over Jolie, now that the 
Jolie bits are done. i'm thinking of adding a publish and subscribe set of 
methods so that Plasma::Service can do it all behind the back of the 
Plasma::Service itself by re-routing requests based on the publish/subscribe 
state in Service::startOperationCall

it's Ryan Bitanga's patch, publised on review-board. it has a number of 
issues, however, and simply will not work with the current design of KRunner. 
essentially, it takes AbstractRunner in a completely different direction that 
is wholey incompatible with the current design: it pushes the actual action to 
be trigered out of the AbstractRunner::exec and into the Actions instead; 
those runners would be completely useless depending on the UI they are used 
with and makes it a completely non-starter.

so i need to spend a few days really soon here to figure out exactly how to 
accomplish the same end without damaging the design.

it isn't about config? what is about?
