Details

KDE4 on Arch writes and reads ~/.kde4/share/config/kdeglobals

KF5 use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/kdeglobals, but also write a config file for KDE 4 backwards compatibility.

However, it uses ~/.kde/... instead of ~/.kde4/..., leaving me with a useless ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals that noone reads.

There must be some build option to set that path in order to make the backwards compatibility efforts effective.
This task depends upon

in kcoreaddons.

OK, then let’s use it. I don’t want a .kde → .kde4 symlink in my $HOME :)
