Or am I wrong and there is a way to make things appear only in Dolphin and the file open/save dialogs, but not other apps' own uses of `KFilePlaces`? If so, that would seem to be an obvious intermediate solution and I'll focus on that.

  I don't think almost any users use or know about that because the two most obvious methods of adding something to the Places panel--drag-and-drop and the file's "Add to places" context menu item--make it global by default. Also if we add Music and Pictures et al to just Dolphin by default, then they're not going to show up in the file open/save dialogs where they're useful, right?
