You may need to know the following system locations:
KDE prefix
KDE installs into its own folder tree, which you can find by
running the command kde-config--prefix. This folder is referred to
by the environment variables $KDEDIRS and possibly
$KDEDIR.
KDE user-specific settings
The environment variable $KDEHOME
points to the folder where KDE should find user-specific settings. If it is not
set, the default value of ~/.kde is used.
