Yes.. something like this.. The user can provide the directories
to be searched via an environment variable (e.g. KDEDIRS). The
directories are search from top to bottom and changes are currently
stored in the top directory. 

The default KDEDIRS="$HOME/.kde:/usr/local/kde" does basically the 
same as what you are expected from KDE 1.1.x.
(The syntax is still under discussion)

Cheers,
Waldo
