KSettings is already handled in a separate Phab Task.

The KSettingsWidgetAdaptor class registers a DBus object which exposes the applicationName() slot, I feel like deprecating this and wrapping the usages in deprecation macros would be the best way to go. The class docs mention KGlobal::caption() which is only in kdelibs4support internally used, besides that I have found no usage.

I was planning to use it on https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kcmutils/-/merge_requests/27.

The purpose is to allow updating KCMs arguments via a dBus method, which currently can only be done at load time.
And the use case https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kcmutils/-/issues/1

What would be the way to go now?
