/**
 * Provides static methods to make use of desktop files provided by
 * KMoreTools.
 *
 * registerServiceByDesktopEntryName creates a KMoreToolsService instance
 * from a given desktopEntryName.
 *
 * registerServicesByGroupingNames takes a list of a set of predefined
 * grouping names and returns a list KMoreToolsService instances. Remember,
 * a KMoreToolsService represents a service which might or might not be
 * installed on the current machine.
 *
 * The groupings defined here are used for the KMoreToolsMenuFactory.
 *
 * (todo later: Probably it would make sense to move the methods of
 * this class to KMoreToolsMenuFactory because grouping names and special
 * handling are too much coupled anyway.)
