Review request for Plasma, Marco Martin and Sebastian Kügler.


Description
-------

This path gets rid of the absolute defaultRootPath for Plasma/Generic packages. to compensate for this change, it also introduces the ability for Package to handle relative paths properly, a bit more like what libplasma2 already does.

Without this, any Plasma/Generic packages installed in $HOME will render any system installed packages unreachable.


Diffs
-----

  plasma/package.cpp 1a49531 
  plasma/packagestructure.cpp b66069c 
  plasma/private/package_p.h a572c12 

Diff: http://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/108664/diff/


Testing
-------

packagestructuretest passes; plasmoidviewer still works (installed packages; relative paths; absolute paths); plasma-desktop functions correctly (activity manager and widgets explorer inc); more testing needed.

may require a full scan of all uses of Plasma/Generic packages :/


Thanks,

Aaron J. Seigo
