I see three ways of getting this done:

1) Every user of libartskde implements its own special case handling of 
desktop files, and passes the contained URL to KPlayObjectFactory.

2) libartskde implements its own special case handling.

3) aRts implements the special case handling, triggered on desktop file 
mimetype.

If I code it, it's going to be #2.  #1 duplicates code needlessly, and #3 
requires rewriting KSimpleConfig in STL.
