Thanks for the info Rex.

For the record kpartsplugin does a:
  KSharedConfigPtr userConfig = 
KSharedConfig::openConfig(KStandardDirs::locateLocal("config", 
configFilename), KConfig::SimpleConfig);

I think the KConfig::SimpleConfig means that it only loads the file from 
the one place rather than the hierarchy of KDE config directories.

Of course, I could change that if the more serious issue of the runaway 
cpu in plugin-container was fixed.
