What's the difference between resourceDirs("services") - which kded already
"monitors" - and locate("config","kstylerc") ?

Hmm, we can't cache kdeglobals since it's behind all the KConfigs we read...
"kdebugrc" would only speed things up for developers.
And you seem to save that the icon themes don't make a difference.
