Fine. Can we then come back to the original question which was
a generic interface for opening/saving files and so on? :-)
Where is the trader documented? How do I find a running instance
of a certain servicetype? If I start a service, how long do I
have to wait until it has registered with DCOP, so I can begin 
to issue DCOP commands? How can I associate servicetypes with
mimetypes?
