As for nepomuk, modifying nepomukserverrc only affects new users. 
Existing users will need to disable nepomuk via
systemsettings->desktop search

*And*, if you want to go modifying systemwide *rc files, plop the 
modified one into /etc/kde instead.  That way, it's not overwritten on 
any updates, for example.
