Because cut or copy is a user action in the first place, not something the program
does on its own at 12:00 every saturday. So it makes sense to simply have a
KAction for this, much like we have kdeui-provided kaction instances for
statusbar, menubar, toolbar, all std actions, etc.
Maybe the slots themselves could be in a StandardSlots singleton, which would
be mostly private api?
