Hi Alvaro, and all,

Er, yes, that's exactly it, but...

So far as this message is concerned, I've never had cause to touch
them, nor had I even heard of them.  However, I've added 
/home/aga/share to  XDG_DATA_DIRS, although the plugins were already
being installed in /home/aga/share/apps.  So, needless to say, still
they were not picked up.  So, then I added /home/aga/share/kde4 as
well, but still they install into ...../apps, instead of ..../kde4/apps.

So, to me, it looks like they are being installed where KMM tells them,
but KDE expects them elsewhere?

Is anyone else successfully installing into /home without installing
into /usr, and, if so, where are your plugins installed, and what are
the settings for XDG_DATA_DIRS.

Thanks

Allan
