Upstream considers that if XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set, qtchooser's config should 
be found using it, ignoring everything else, including the default we provide.

On the other hand we the Qt/KDE team consider that the normal place for which 
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS points, /etc/xdg/, is not a place to store qtchooser's 
configs.

So if you set XDG_CONFIG_DIR, you need to set provide qtchooser's config. You 
can do that by symlinking /usr/share/qtchooser
