[Kde-kiosk] path, files, mode

[Austin Longino]

So im on gentoo as well. Did you emerge kiosktools (if so whats the 
e-build) or where did you install it. Is that important? Also the wierd 
thing is that the /etc/kde-profiles/ only has the structure 
default/etc/xdg/menus then one file applications.menu nothing else. Im 
wonderin if everythign was installed correctly.
