You can write KDE defaults to /etc/kde (which ships empty by default, we put 
distrowide defaults into /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-
profile/default/share/config/ instead). IIRC, I already pointed this out to 
one of you when they asked about tweaking KDE settings.

Likewise, this should be doable through /etc/kde.
