Right, which brings me back to step one :) Or maybe I'm missing something,
but:
Assuming I add my custom KF5 path to XDG_DATA_DIRS even in my KDE4 session,
isn't that highly unsafe considering the other environment variables are not
set, and cannot be set, since I don't want to influence my KDE4 session? I
have things like XDG_{CACHE,CONFIG}_HOME in mind.
Or would you say that adding my custom KF5 data dir to XDG_DATA_DIRS even in a
KDE4 session is safe, as noone should request the start of kded5 or similar?
I might just need to try this out apparently...
