How do I do that ?
Please document all the arguments in the startService* methods...

I want to start konqueror.
I can't use startServiceByName because it says "translated name of the service"
which I don't know - this seems a not very useful method.

Hmm, let's try with ByDesktopName and giving konqueror.desktop ...
Result : Could not find service 'konqueror.desktop'.
Hmmmm... Trying with "konqueror" - this should really be documented.
Gosh ! kcontrol gets launched ! There are two files named konqueror.desktop...

And if use the third one (startServiceByDesktopPath), it means
I rely on whereever that .desktop file is installed.
If the user moves it in the K menu, I'm lost.
There is really something wrong with startServiceByDesktopPath.
One should never rely on the layout of $KDEDIR/applnk...

Hmm, damn. I just want to fire up konqy ! ;-)
