 Wouldn't it be better to just go with XSETTINGS[*] for (some of) these? It 
would save special-casing them for each X11 desktop and would also solve the 
problem of running some app as a different user or remotely (at least, that's 
the theory, having a better look at XSETTINGS is somewhere in my 
TODO-when-I-have-too-much-time).

 You could probably short-circuit some of the stuff in QDesktopServices 
directly to the KDE calls instead of all the black magic there.
