Note that some of them might be distro dependant. KDE uses a variable to keep
track of it's base path, so, maybe it's worth to check that path's and then
add the other part of the path to them, because some distros might install
kde to a different locations (i.e. /usr vs. /opt or even the users home).

That variable is $KDEDIRS.
