REVISION SUMMARY
  This simplifies greatly this otherwise mundane KCM. It introduced a lot
  of complexity while gettings things wrong anyway: it would miss if a
  directory is included in another one except in the "autostart inside
  desktop" case, it would also leave you stranded in case of an
  uncompleted move.
  
  So now the KCM has a clear purpose: edit the settings. Moving data
  around is still up to the user using a proper filemanager.
  
  Long term it would probably be better for the filemanager to edit the
  settings automatically when the user move on of those folders around,
  then the KCM could be decommissioned.
