One of the advantages in the tradeoff between "bloat" and minimalism is that
KDE is fully relocatable in theory, starting with 3.2 even user settings can
be reassigned (roaming).
Still, this is a doubly-edged sword, as many applications still include
hardcoded paths.
So some upstream work needs to be done first, even more so in apps that follow
a less unified scheme. But I think it's worth it in the long run.
