No. digiKam/Showfoto/kipi settings are saved in rc text file in the
home repository.

Look in you Linux at this place :

~/.kde4/share/config/digikamrc
~/.kde4/share/config/showfotorc
~/.kde4/share/config/kipirc

Also, there are some XML settings files stored in these directories :

~/.kde4/share/app/digikam
~/.kde4/share/app/showfoto
~/.kde4/share/app/kipi
