FYI, some background,
https://kde.org/info/security/advisory-20190807-1.txt
Upstream decided to disable/remove support for shell commands in kconfig.
Fedora currently utilizes this feature for kde4 local localized user-dir
support via kdeglobals snippet:
kde-profile/minimal/share/config/kdeglobals:
[Paths]
Desktop[$e]=$(xdg-user-dir DESKTOP)
Documents[$e]=$(xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS)
Personally, now as this apparently only affects kde4 codepaths, I'm
comfortable following upstream's approach as it at most affects only a small
handful of applications still using kde4 libraries.
Thoughts?
