Hmm ? The properties dialog is something completely separate,
and defined in kdelibs/kfile/kpropsdlg.*
Simon would be able to tell more, but AFAIK the properties dialog queries
for services that implement a given service type ('properties dialog page' or something)
for the mimetype of the file, and if found, it will create the additionnal pages
for it (with a factory, you guessed it).
This has in fact nothing to do with KParts plugins at all.

Yup. I'm waiting for Simon's opinion (and confirmation) on this.
