Well, the key is that the applications no longer will have a way to 
check for _directories_, but for files.

the type "config" could have kde/etc and etc/kde as relative path
(several prefixes are possible as well - for example $HOME/.kde)
and /etc/kde as absolute path. kstddirs will check which paths
exist and will still work.

It's just that the Makefiles have to know where to put stuff - 
the defaults.

Greetings, Stephan
