We really need a canonical example of how to do this in writing
somewhere.  Right now people use any one of the following methods, and
sometimes several in the same program!

1. fork + exec
2. KProcess
3. KRun
4. startServiceByDesktopPath

the pros and cons of all of the above should be discussed, preferably by
those who implemented them.  I think the list is also ordered by
implementation age.  Comments?

This is really important.  I for one don't really understand what KRun and
startServiceByDesktopPath truly offer over KProcess.
