-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 kde-config for some reason CREATES the directory .kde in the user's home
 directory. (I thought that the tool should only return paths, but not
 create directories on its own...)

 This MUST lead to trouble when installing ports with "sudo port" as a non-
 privileged user, since then .kde would be created with admin ownership in
 the user's home dir, which will lead subsequently to trouble...

 This actually affects many kde ports!
