Is there any KDE or Qt way to locate an executable using the root PATH. Specifically, \
I want to run something which on my system is in /usr/sbin/, calling it from a KAuth \
helper module running as root. KStandarDirs::findExe() doesn't produce any result \
(the PATH variable doesn't seem to be set up). I could hard code the /usr/sbin/ path, \
but that doesn't seem desirable in case the executable is elsewhere on some systems.
