I was looking into this today and it's not that trivial. The favorites are
saved in config as a list of .desktop files located in /usr... . I had only
quick look at how the apps list is loaded and it uses some KServiceGroup
magic (which I don't understand yet). So basically it means that the
Favorites loading would have to be changed to use the KServiceGroup as well
instead of loading directly the .desktop files, which are actually never
changed (those in /usr).

But I may be totally off here :) If someone can guide me, I could probably
do it.
