Hi people,
I don't agree with the kde confdir path patch.
KDE4 uses a non-standard /usr/share/config path as _default_ confdir but uses
other methods too.
It is compliant to freedesktop.org base directory specification:
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards/basedir-spec
see http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/Environment_Variables for
more informations.
As a 2nd method, we can add additional search paths as used in desktop-base:
http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/KDE_Filesystem_Hierarchy
http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration/XDG_Filesystem_Hierarchy
btw, http://techbase.kde.org/KDE_System_Administration is a must read.
I would like to avoid useless patches or quick workaround when kde provides
enough flexibility to achieve what we want.
cheers,
Fathi
