It's never too late to correct unfortunate decisions. :-)

Anyway, the paths for konqueror's plugin-scanner are user-configurable through 
konqueror's settings dialog. We certainly can make a local patch to the

KDE's sources. So, just go ahead with whatever path you feel comfortable with, 
we'll cope.
