KXMLGUI files (called "foo.rc") are found in
 GenericDataLocation + '/' + componentName + '/' + fileName.

This is why KHTML installs its .rc files in DATA/khtml.
Just like all KDE apps will install their rc files in DATA/appname.

We used /kf5/ whenever possible, but some things are more global than that.

Well, we could cheat somehow and call setXMLFile("kf5/khtml5.rc") in 
khtml_part.cpp but that seems quite strange to me - i.e. we'll forget again if 
the issue comes up elsewhere, etc.

Where will KDE apps install their stuff? To /Library/Application Support too?
Then it won't all be under /kf5/ anyway.
