A KDED Module +is loaded when a call is made to it. + +A KDED Module needs to provide a factory method that creates an object that +is derived from KDEDModule. The name of a factory method always starts with +"create_". + +It also needs to provide a desktop file that defines the service provided by +the module. The desktop file needs to be installed under +$KDEDIR/share/services/kded/.
