- I don't think so. I just launched a service provider that I wrote, it
- has no services menu. The services it offers are available in the Services

- I think it more likely that the Service is not asking for a valid
- Pasteboard type. Remember how different services show up in the menus
- depending on what Pasteboard objects are available...
