 I think the idea is that KStandardDirs&Co. should be usable without 
KApplication or KGlobal, and IIRC it used to work like that. Apparently 
that's not the case now, there's e.g. some KGlobal usage introduced by some 
locale features, but I think the proper fix for your problem is creating a 
temporary KComponentData and KStandardDirs and use that. It certainly seems a 
bit clearer than keeping a pointer to something value-based and changing it 
at random places.
