I thought it was more than understood that service names and interfaces 
are namespaced according to domain name registration. So, KDE is using 
org.kde as its topmost level. Some interface names, however, take even 
the program name if they are not considered "KDE global".

Object paths are completely non-namespaced. We're using whatever we want 
there.
