Configuration files transfer

To give more context on this question: kactivities (KF5 based) can be used 
with a 4.x software stack, however it uses the XDG configuration paths 
rather than KDEHOME, hence currently it breaks configurations where both 
workspaces are installed (because it looks for files elsewhere and so it 
doesn't pick the old config up).

This is going to be a problem as distributions (I speak at least for 
openSUSE where I'm involved in) will offer the KF5-based workspace as an 
aside and not as main desktop.
