Here is my first attempt at a KDE service menu for XBMC - its still a bit rough but cool nonetheless. It will either play or queue files or folders via a right click in Dolphin using json-rpc. If XBMC is not running it will open it, if it is running it will bring it to focus. It needs wmctrl installed (to bring XBMC to focus).
To install unzip the files into the ~/.kde/share/kde4/services/ServiceMenus/ directory and make xbmc-kde-send-to.sh executable. If you use a non standard port for json-rpc (not 8080) or want to send files to a networked PC you need to edit xbmc-kde-send-to.sh. Then right click away!
Issues/todo:
Opening picture folders with any files that are not images causes none of the pictures to display (music folders are ok though).
Adding 'queue and start playing' entry? XBMC controls?
Playing/queueing multiple selected files at once is a bit funky.
Network items - dolphin hides the service menu when browsing network shares.
Script could probably be used to associate content with xbmc, so double clicking media would open it in xbmc - DONE
