qFatal usage in KStandardDirs

[Aaron J. Seigo]

hi...

i just came across this in kstandarddirs.cpp:

            if (dirs.isEmpty()) {
                qFatal("KStandardDirs: The resource type %s is not 
registered", type);
            } else {
                path = realPath(dirs.first());
            }

isn't this is a bit heavy handed? for me as an app dev working on plasma-
desktop, right now it means anyone can crash plasma-desktop with a script that 
passes some junk in to userDataPath in the desktop scripting (new feature to 
that for 4.7).

is there any reason to keep it as a qFatal rather than just returning an empty 
string (in this case)? ditto for
