Bingo: it is controlled by this file:

    
/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde4-profile/default/share/config/amarokrc

The thing that makes it so fun is that the contents of that file does 
*not* end up in a new user's .kde/share/config/amarokrc; it is loaded 
dynamically some magic way.

That file is not a part of package 'amarok'; no, it belongs to package 
'kubuntu-default-settings'.

You've also got these files:
    /usr/share/kde4/config/amarok_homerc
    /usr/share/kde4/config.kcfg/amarokconfig.kcfg
     (which has the normal 'true' value for "Show Splashscreen")

providing default values for new users.


Oh MS Windows registry! I take back all those things I said about you!
