I'm willing to consider that but if you look at the files again:

> $KDEDIR/share/config/kdeglobals
> $KDEHOME/share/config/kdeglobals
> $KDEDIR/share/config/kmyapprc
> $KDEHOME/share/config/kmyapprc

If $KDEHOME/share/config/kmyapprc contains "use the entry from kdeglobals" 
([$g] ??) it means that KConfig must still have access to the entries that 
were defined by $KDEHOME/share/config/kdeglobals, even though they may have 
been redefined by $KDEDIR/share/config/kmyapprc already. KConfig currently 
doesn't keep that information around.

I will have a look to see how hard it is to change that in such a way that we 
don't keep too much duplicate entries in memory.

I don't think it's that bad. We are talking about moving options from e.g. 
konsolerc to kdeglobals and vice versa. This is NOT about copying files from 
$KDEHOME to $KDEDIR, that's what kiosk users are mostly concerned about.
