menus/applications.menu is a file that is expected to be found under one of the paths returned by `qtpaths --paths ConfigLocation`.

Oops!?!

kmimeassociationstest does
  QStandardPaths::enableTestMode(true);
  then calls QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::ApplicationsLocation)
  and deletes all of it.
On a Linux system that's ~/.qttest/share/applications
What does this return on OSX?

It does the same with GenericConfigLocation and CacheLocation, btw.

AFAICS QSP also uses ~/.qttest on OSX, that's where this should all have happened,
not in a global dir.

ksycocatest.cpp also does some recursive deletion of dirs, but they are more
specific, like QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::GenericDataLocation) + "/kservices5",
so that can't be it.
