We meant kde as a whole. While i tried to install kdelibs and kdebase into 
different prefixes i found a lot of problems that weren't easy to fix. Stuff 
compiled but didn't run. I fixed some of those bugs but went back because i did 
not get a real functional setup that way.

So i talked to david and we came to the conclusion we don't (really) support 
it.

Should i start to install into different prefixes again and try to fix all those 
bugs? Or do we once and for all decide that is not supported.

IIRC strigi / nepomuk had some problems finding their plugins. There were 
others i forgot.

I just tried to fix this because it broke many times for me. So i can't help 
you with the other questions.

Searching XDG_DATA_DIRS will not help iirc. It is not set for most of us so 
the user/developer has to set it manually. So the 
KDE4RUNTIME_DBUS_INTERFACES_DIR would be the only solution if you ask me 
because it could work automatically.

But we should make a decision what we support installation wise. Document it 
and make a declaration. Currently it's not really known what we support and 
not.
