setting absolutes pathes of kde installations in registry will make it 
hard to place kde installations on an usb stick or removal disc because 
the drive letter may change.
Because of this kdecore and dbus contains code to determine the related 
install path on runtime. We discussed this a short time before with 
Frank Osterfeld.
