No. You could have "global/group/local" but also "global/local" or
"local" or "global/group1/group2/group3/local".

I guess you can get an ordered list of all prefixes. Not sure if 
there is already a function for that. Only an application that
wants to do some configuring based on these various groups
could possibly be interested in this. Are you sure you need this
in kpanel?
