kde4-config types are the different types of location KDE apps can use for 
different forms of data/files.

But those are base paths, the actual files are usually in subdirectories 
decided upon by the apps.

and /usr/share/kde4/desktopthemes looks like kde-data-path/desktopthemes.

If /usr/local is not part of your search list, you could set $KDEDIRS so that 
it contains /usr/local:/usr

Cheers,
Kevin
