instead of moving individual files, you should probably use cmake switches to 
configure the installation. In this case
-DDATA_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/share(/kde4)/apps/
should allow you to switch the location.

I'm not sure, whether or not this will also fix lookup of the file, but it is 
definitely worth a try. You might also want to look at some other KDE 4 
packages to see where those place their data files, and whether they did any 
further adjustments.

You're right, this does not really sound like a nice solution. However, if all 
else fails, this should probably work (all file lookups will go through this 
one function).
