Well I created a special constructor instead of a setter because I wanted to 
limit the scope of change to KService's behavior as low as possible. If I added 
a setExec, it would allow the "Exec=" to be changed at anytime regardless of 
how KService was created. To me that did not make sense as the need to change 
the "Exec=" line is very specific scenarios like the one we have in the 
openWith dialog. Moreover, we already have several different ctors for 
different use cases right now. Adding one that could be merged with an existing 
on in KF5 would be the lowest impact change that could be made to KService 
itself. Are you sure adding a setExec() is the better way to go in this case?
