For completeness, here's the list of all locations returned by QStandardPaths; standard and writable, regular and testing mode, native and XDG-compliant mode.
I'd appreciate extra pairs of eyes checking for inconsistencies, errors and incompatibilities.

NB: it's already more or less clear that ApplicationsLocation should be "${prefix}/share/applications" in XDG-compliant mode.
