From: Pino Toscano Description: Disable braindead KDE3/4 prefix detection The current detection of the KDE 3 and KDE 4 prefixes is done running kde-config and kde4-config, resp. This can be problematic, as these two could create files in ~/.kde, thus breaking when the home of the current user (eg in buildds) is read-only. Given the build system sets anyway "/usr" as prefix of KDE 3 and KDE 4 if they were not detected, then just let it to.
