Ok, what you suggested worked. However, if I install a 3rd-party KDE
app like kbiff or cervisia, I want to do the same with the share
directory for the app, namely install the 'applnk', 'apps', 'doc',
'icons', etc. files to:
  /opt/kbiff35/share/kbiff35/applnk
  /opt/kbiff35/share/kbiff35/apps
  /opt/kbiff35/share/kbiff35/doc
  /opt/kbiff35/share/kbiff35/icons

In my /opt/kde222/share/kde222/config/kdeglobals file I have:
  [Directories]
  prefixes=/opt/kbiff35

However, KDE attempts to load the icons from:
  /opt/kbiff35/share/kde222/icons
