I talked to David Faure about RMB menus and he pointed me to
kdebase/libkonq/SERVICEMENUS, which can be used for such a thing. You can
set to which mime types (eg. allfiles inode/directory .... )the menu entries
should be linked to and the add some actions, which are separated by a
separator from other menu items. They are not cached by ksycoca and are read
new every time you click on a file / directory. --> You can change them on
the fly eg after starting kreatecd (possibly needed for (3)

Yes, I would suggest a small wrapper, which starts kreatecd and sets the
menu entries in the service menu, for adding a new sesssion, adding to
session or starting kreateCD + creating a new track / session. (Wrapper <-->
kreatecd with DCOP). The only problem at the moment could be with dcop
communication between different users.
I think kreateCD needs to run as root, while the wrapper runs as another
user. (I'm talking to some kde-core-developers about this problem at the
moment)
