Comment #3 on issue 29927 by [email protected]: Use .kde4 on KDE 4 systems
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=29927

[ Clickable version of the patch link above: http://tinyurl.com/yl64g4e ]

Ah yes, we probably do need some logic that works something like that. We  
might
not want to just hardcode .kde4 though, as more recent systems are starting  
to use
just plain old "KDE" to refer to KDE 4. I'm not sure whether the .kde4  
directory is
among the things that are switching back or not. If not, then we could just  
take the
patch as-is.

Otherwise, there's an environment variable $KDE_HOME that might contain a  
value
pointing at the right place, and there's also a program that can be run to  
get it as
well (kde4-config --localprefix). Actually, technically, we should always  
run the
program rather than hardcode any value, but of course the program itself  
has a 4 in
it... in KDE 3 it was named kde-config.

I'd love to work on this but I'm pretty busy trying to graduate (so I can  
come work on
this stuff full-time). This looks like a job for somebody with a lot of VMs  
though, to
test different versions of KDE. Hopefully this information will help.
