The problem is that this doesn't fully solve the problem.
What about Exec lines ? They are not path nor urls, but they _contain_
paths and URLs, possibly with env vars, like what was
before "kfmclient openURL file:$HOME".

What about an optionnal bool in readEntry instead ?

Or even a separate method (readEntryWithDollarExpansion or so, but
the name sucks. ;-)

I like the writePathEntry/readPathEntry, though. It just doesn't fit for Exec
lines, at least in terms of naming.
