I answered you on one bug report and I thought you would be a bit more 
thorough in analyzing the problem. My personal conclusions is that mainly it's 
Open Desktop which is broken. What I would like you to do, regarding the 
Dolphin services is to check several services installation in details: install 
them via the GHNS dialog, look if some are installed and work, if others are 
not written as "installed" and don't appear then look if they are indeed 
installed locally. If so, it might be a bad entry in the .dektop file or 
something as trivial as this. Do all that with Dolphin started in a terminal 
with full debug. Check the debug for the ones not working. Concentrate on 
installation first before looking to uninstall. Using a test user would be 
good.
Make a list of your findings, add the debug. We'll work from there. The more 
detailed and precise the problems are reported, the more likely we'll fix them. 

I did that once with wallpapers in a previous release and contacted authors to 
have them fixing their upload to kde-look. I also added tar.bz2 support in GHNS 
at that time or something.
