It seems that part of the information is stored in:

[guru at c720-r292778-amd64 ~]$ fgrep -C3 1000 .kde4/share/config/kwinrc
kwin4_effect_windowgeometryEnabled=false

[Script-desktopchangeosd]
PopupHideDelay=1000
TextOnly=false

[TabBox]

I made a copy yesterday and it seems that this config file is opened for
writing(!) and modified (at least the modification time) on KDE start:

[guru at c720-r292778-amd64 ~]$ ls -l .kde4/share/config/kwinrc .kde4/share/config/kwinrc.saved
-rw-------  1 guru  wheel  1840 feb.  21 10:43 .kde4/share/config/kwinrc
-rw-------  1 guru  wheel  1840 feb.  20 13:39 .kde4/share/config/kwinrc.saved
