           Summary: List of excluded directories in KCM module for

You can specify a list of excluded directories for indexing in KCM module for
baloofile, but it only displays the final part of the path. This is confusing,
as initially it doesn't even look like a directory and is ambiguous in the not
uncommon situation where paths share a common last name.

A roll over hint displays the full path, but this is not immediately obvious
and relies on the user having a mouse.

Finally, it is just hiding information from the user for no clear benefit.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open System Settings - "Desktop Search" (the KCM module)
2. Add file paths to exclude from indexing
Actual Results:  
Only the final node of the path(s) will be displayed.

Expected Results:  
Full directory paths should be displayed.
