Yes, this has been mentioned before, but unfortunately never put in
BugZilla. It is much less an issue if KDE is installed into /opt,
however, config files in /usr/etc is simply a bad thing.

I am tired and going to sleep. I'll try to BZ this tomorrow if nobody
has done it since.

BTW, the --sysconfdir should be to /etc/kde, not just /etc. Just
like GNOME is. (though according to the FHS, we are wrong when the
GNOME-PREFIX is /opt and we use /etc/gnome as the config dir).
