Interesting, thanks Aaron - I've been using 
KStandardDirs::locateLocal("appdata", ""), is there any difference or 
preference to using KGlobal::dirs()->locateLocal("appdata", "") ?


On a related note - how would I find documentation on the KGlobal 
namespace at api.kde.org? the search function doesn't find it.


Cheers,
