  Currently, there is some garbage left in a few config files (potentially any application which **writes** some baloo config keys), on my system:
  
  balooctl: ~/.config/baloorc
  systemsettings/search: ~/.config/kcmshell5rc, ~/.config/systemsettingsrc
  
  I am not aware of any bad side effects having these garbage entries. baloo itself (or any of its library functions) newer read these keys from
  the mentioned files, only from ~/.config/baloofilerc.
  
  Adding cleanup code is of course possible, but this code:
  
  - has to be run at an appropriate time (each config read? write? session start?)
  - has to parse the config (at least systemsettingsrc is quite large)
  - is extra code which has to be maintained
  
  As this change is an improvement even without the cleanup, I would postpone the cleanup.
