KGlobalSettings::completionMode() can be read, is not consistent in KDE though

I think you are missing the point. The reason why there is no way to change 
the global default from individual lineedits or comboboxes is intentional. 
Not an oversight...

Too complicated. I had to read this several times to see all the different 
combinations. It is just asking for trouble if the ability to modify the 
global default is added directly to individual widgets. Specially one that is 
labeled "Use Desktop-Wide Setting". It conveys nothing about modifying the 
default. I rather see some sort of GUI that allows you to modify all the 
global settings in a central manner if possible. The last thing I want to see 
is things becoming like KURL where everything including the kitchen sync gets 
added...
