for who wasn't at tokamak and have no clue what the heck i'm talking about, 
this is a very tiny kded that is meant to keep track of applications that will 
use the new systemtray protocol (we would also need photos of the whiteboard 
somewhere)

it's hard to know what is needed/what it isn't now that the user of it happyly 
lives just in our imagination together the fluffy unicorn bunnies , by the way 
the thing now has
-a function to register a service (could just monitor added services on dbus 
but would be a little heavier perhaps)
-a function to enumerate registered services
-a signal that notifies that a service was added
-a signal that notifies that a service was removed (not strictly useful, just 
for coherence)

and would really be not much more complex than is now

the only problem i see is if kded crashes/ the daemon is stopped/reloaded 
already launched apps won't get registered, perhaps it would be required an 
one time pain of iteration trough dbus to discover what apps expose the 
systemtray api, ideally would be done at kde start so there would be slightly 
less stuff to iterate in

any comments on how should behave, what should expose or even what is the 
best name for it?

Cheers,
Marco Martin
