While developing the nowplaying QML plasmoid (see previous email), I ran
into problems using services where
service.startOperationCall(service.operationDescription("Play"))
would fail ("Play" takes no arguments), because startOperationCall would
get an invalid KConfigGroup (with no name).It turned out that this was because I was storing the service in a QtObject property, and some sort of typing information about functions was being lost. The solution was to always call serviceForSource() at the point where I needed to use the service. However, the design pattern for services is to always create a new one, so we've either got a memory leak (if they don't go away), or setAssociatedWidget() isn't going to work (if they do). Brief testing suggests that setAssociated[Widget/Item]() works (subject to https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/104760/). That may indicate the leak scenario, or I may have just been (un)lucky with garbage collection. Is this something that needs to be dealt with? Perhaps in libplasma2?
