I agree that DATA_INSTALL_DIR must be preferred over CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/share/apps. The latter is not used by the installation so there should be no files from the KDE4 installation anyway. All the relevant files should be in DATA_INSTALL_DIR only. AFAICS removing CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/share/apps from the list completely should be correct if all KDE application installs use DATA_INSTALL_DIR.

But I imagine that would break apps that don't set DATA_INSTALL_DIR, especially self compiled KDE applications. So the best fix IMO is to make sure DATA_INSTALL_DIR comes before CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX/share/apps.
