you shouldn't make any assumptions about this. the order of services 
(including services autostarting only when needed, for example) may change or 
shift over time. we have tools to make such assumptions unnecessary, however

if org.kde.NepomukServer is on the bus, then you know the service is alive and 
you can start using it. QtDBus lets you ask if a service is registered on the 
bus.
