I think in general the paths are constructed by taking the prefix and then
appending certain subdirectories.
Have a look at the structure in the local prefix (usually ~/.kde)
At build time the paths for the installation prefix can be overriden, e.g.
config can be diverted to /etc and so on.
Maybe this is what you see here, install "data" being diverted to
/usr/share/kde/apps and your prefix handled in the standard way,
$prefix/share/apps
Cheers,
Kevin
