It seems I'm already using KDE since before this changed. Apparently the 
name of the config file is stored in kickerrc. So you will have to get 
the filename from kickerrc and then you will have to update the 
clockapplet rc manually. To do this write a perl script which is called 
by kconf_update and which parses kickerrc to find the name of the clock 
applet rc and then parse the clock applet rc. Actually you could make 
the perl script create a temporary upd file (for clock applet rc) and 
then call kconf_update from the perl script with this temporary upd 
file.

Ingo
