Yes, sorry. Got confused.

Yes, but in KMahjongg, findAllResources() is fed from
    addResourceType( [...] "kmahjongg/layouts/"));
and as far as I can tell there is no direct way to find certain files in 
certain subfolders. So I cannot look for 
"kmahjongg/layouts/*.desktop". The result is an empty list.

But as I scrolled down the page a bit more, I probably found the 
solution. One has to locate the folders and the foreach over them to 
get the files. I will try that tomorrow.

I wonder how it could work so far, since there are so many hard-coded 
path delimiters in KDE.
