The kde/share/apps dirs are just the default directories Krita searches in, 
like for the default profiles we use. This is through the default KDE 
mechanism for looking for application-specific data files.
I thought the ~/.color one was from create, but apparently we just share this 
with Scribus:

And yes, this could be documented better.

Ah, I didn't know OpenEXR was a troublesome lib :-( I had a quick look at our 
OpenEXR importer, and it indeed just performs the most basic code for loading 
provided by the library. So any pointers you might send us, could improve it.

Yes, files that crash on loading are always good to send us.

This depends. Crashes are best just reported on bugs.kde.org, features are 
best added as a 'wish' there as well. But if you have an interesting idea 
that might need some discussion to get right, it might be advantageous to 
discuss it here. Some things just are easier to explain in a series of mails.
