lrineau at schtroumpf ~ $ kde-config --path config
/home/lrineau/.kde/share/config/:/etc/kde/:/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/:/usr/share/config/

That means that /usr/share/config is searched *last*. Config options are first 
searched in my home directory, then in /etc/kde, then 
in /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/, then eventually 
in /usr/share/config/.

So KConfig does it the right way. :-)
