            Bug ID: 383609
           Summary: Applications menu coming from ui_standards.rc are not
                    visible
           Product: frameworks-kxmlgui
           Version: 5.36.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
          Reporter: ralf.habac...@freenet.de
            Blocks: 380136
  Target Milestone: ---

Although ui_standards.rc is embedded into the library (according to
https://cgit.kde.org/kxmlgui.git/tree/src/kxmlgui.qrc) it is not found by an
application (tried with KF5 umbrello portable package from
https://software.opensuse.org/package/mingw32-umbrello5-portable?search_term=mingw32-umbrello5-portable).

As fallback there is a file ui_standards.rc installed in
<install-root>/etc/xdg/ui/ui_standards.rc, but on starting an application Qt
searches this file in <install-root>/bin/xdg/ui/ui_standards.rc. 

I don't think that is was a good decision by Qt to place all files below bin
while the rest of oss packages uses <install-root>/share for data. This could
be partial corrected by using a qt.conf file which is unfortunally not used by
QStandardPath. It puts an additional burden on package maintainer and porter
beside the huge work to make all this Qt5/KF5 changes working on Windows.
