| 434–436 | I tried that first, and it doesn't work; those .desktop files are in a ~/.local/share/plasma_icons, ksycoca doesn't know about that location. | |

| 434–436 | According to the kservice docs KService::serviceByStorageId() param is "the storage id or desktop-file path of the service", so I guess that's why it works. | |

| 434–436 | but "desktop file path" is what we're doing. what I believe is happening that you're actually launching the original file, not the one the icon uses. | |

KServiceFactory::findServiceByStorageId falls back to "new KService" if it can't find the storageId in ksycoca. So yes it worked, but it's kind of pointless (and confusing) to call it just to go to the new KService fallback, better do that directly.
