Needed to fix bug 255453. Hi, kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years. KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish. If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue. We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Version: unspecified (using Devel) OS: Linux If you install new stuff (scripts, game expansions, wallpapers, ...) all will be installed in $HOME/.kde{4}/share/apps/[specific app]. This has at least two disadvantages (if you have two or more users on the system who use same new stuff): 1. You have to download it twice or more and stress servers 2. You have to save it twice or more and have duplicates It would be much better when user(s) can choose whether it should be installed in $HOME or in system dir (e. g. /usr/share/knewstuff/[specific app] -> permission required). May it is also possible making this system dir writable for all users and installing new stuff there by default. Reproducible: Didn't try
