[Konsole-devel] Idea: Organize user data in a hierarchical way

"User data" means profiles, colorschemes and keybindings. It is strange 
that those data files are well organized in our source code, but 
installed in a flat way under /usr/share/apps/konsole. Although the 
location make no difference to most users, I think that flat way is 
cluttered and not friendly for future changes.

One of the "future changes" is the GHNS support for colorschemes. I like 
that idea. There are already some konsole colorschemes scattered around 
in kde-look.org and other places. If we add that support, I guess users 
will happily share and create more colorschemes. It is better to put all 
colorschemes into its own sub-folder.

I'm not suggesting we should do it now or soon. Actually, writing new 
code is the least thing I want to do for Konsole at this moment.

So to sum up:

1). move/put those data files into its own sub-folders: "./profiles", 
"./colorschemes", and "keyboard-layouts".

2). add GHNS support for colorschemes; I guess most people are not 
interested with downloading and using profiles and keyindings from Internet.

Any thoughts?

Jekyll
