Here is example code out of kmahjongg:
        QString str;
        str.sprintf( "%1/kmahjongg/pics/%2").
                     arg(kapp->kde_datadir()).arg(DEFAULTBACKGROUND);
        if( ! loadBackground( str ) )

Change this to
        if (! loadBackground(locate("appdata", "pics/" +
DEFAULTBACKGROUND))

Greetings, Stephan
