I'm not sure: the runtime costs for comparing are decreased, but the runtime 
costs for starting up Dolphin has been increased now.

I'd suggest doing it like this:
instead of the original code (which does an unnecessary comparison anyway):

if (selectedUrlsCount == 2) {
  const bool kompareInstalled 
= !KGlobal::dirs()->findExe("kompare").isEmpty();
  compareFilesAction->setEnabled(selectedUrlsCount == 2 && kompareInstalled);
}

I'd suggest something like this:

if (selectedUrlsCount == 2) {
	compareFilesAction->setEnabled(isKompareInstalled());
}

bool DolphinMainWindow::isKompareInstalled() const
{
	static bool initialized = false;
	static bool installed = false;
	if (!initialized) {
		installed= !KGlobal::dirs()->findExe("kompare").isEmpty();
		initialized = true;
	}
	return installed;
}

What do you think?

Peter
