But the functions are meant as an addition to current methods to find 
directories. As long as people don't /solely/ depend on these functions 
(which would be very bad as they are documented to possibly return 
QString::null) the user won't get any errors they wouldn't get with the 
developer not using these functions.

Yes, but it doesn't provide a real solution. It's only a workaround that 
*sometimes* works, it doesn't work for relative paths or with symlinks.
