	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  
menu.

	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...
