KStandardDirs and Autopackage

[Arend van Beelen jr.]

Hi!

Good idea. The only thing I don't really get is, won't this inflate your path 
and the other environment variables, even when the application is removed? 
I'm not very familiar with klauncher though, so if it automatically solves 
this, please forgive me for asking ;)
