I would say so. If such code is present at several places, concentrating
it sounds like a good idea.

Your wish for such a signal may be understandable but keep this in mind:
every addition to KApplication has to be reviewed carefully regarding
their general usefullness. We must not clutter it with all sorts of
special purpose properties.

It might be a good idea to reinstate someone with a good overview (like
Kalle) to keep an eye on what goes in.
