Can be both, if only the kde-libs have apps inside its share directory
will be a symlink. But, if more than one program have a directory
called apps inside the share
it will be a directory with symlinks inside.
In this case I belive will be a directory, because in my machine is a directory.

Yes, SymlinkProgram   shoud create it.

  Strange, you are using the latest Scripts package?
  You are using inside rootless (gobo inside a user directory in
another distribution) ?

 Yes, you don't need to recompile it.
