In kdecore/kernel/kstandarddirs.cpp line 1733 if ( SHGetFolderPathW(NULL, CSIDL_APPDATA, NULL, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, wPath) == S_OK) < This puts ~/AppData/Roaming in wPath (for Windows Vista and later).
which is then used in: localKdeDir = QDir::fromNativeSeparators(QString::fromUtf16((const ushort *) wPath)) + QLatin1Char('/') + QString::fromLatin1(KDE_DEFAULT_HOME) + QLatin1Char('/');
Thinking about it the patch would be better if it mirrors that behavior. I thought it's ok to hardcode AppData/Roaming (as XP compatibility should not be an issue) but it would be better to use SHGetFolderPath. I had not thought of cases where upgrades from XP to Vista to newer versions happened. In this case I think SHGetFolderPath might return a different path. So it's better to use that function.
I'll update the patch accordingly.
