I wonder if it would be > better to have /usr/lib/kde/x.y, /usr/share/kde/x.y,... directories!? That's actually a good point. Theoretically its possible to share some parts of the system across several machines, which is of course complicated by a /foo/kde/x.y/share directory structure. So most probably your suggestion is the best till now (and also one of the alternatives which was discussed for KDE 4). A directory /usr/bin/kde/x.y feels weird on the first glance, but why not?
