Well, if it was, then it either has it's own admin subdir OR it is a
custom-made configure that doesn't follow the KDE standard.

All I'm saying is that app packages that ARE created with the "new"
system would search in $KDEDIR/share/admin.  Current packages or
packages that don't want to follow that convention would work as they
currently do.
