~/.config/konquerorrc ? I don't see a problem here.

We have to cohabit in bin/ anyway :

Take the case where KDE and another project both named a program 
"systemsettings".
You want to solve the clash on ~/.config/systemsettingsrc  --- but what about 
the clash on /usr/bin/systemsettings?

If you solve the latter by renaming one of the binaries, the clash on the 
config file gets solved immediately anyway.
