It seems that at some point there was a .config/kde.org "vendor" directory, but 
indeed most configs are at the top level nowadays.

I would suggest to file a wish item ticket on bugs.kde.org

Unfortunately changing file locations is a bit problematic, as moving the file 
means an older version won't find it anymore and copying means they easily get 
out of sync.

But it does sound like a good idea to have each vendor use a directory of its 
own.

Cheers,
Kevin
