desktop-wide "Recent-Apps": yes
stored in ksycoca: no
managed by startServiceInternal: klauncher might be more efficient, that way 
there is only one process that updates the stuff. Since klauncher has all the 
service information (KService, loaded from ksycoca) it can also filter out 
entries that shouldn't show up in menus.

Cheers,
Waldo
