In addition to the KConfig C++ class, there are also the 
kreadconfig/kwriteconfig commnad line tools. All of these work on the 
settings under $KDEHOME though, and none of them support changing lockdown 
attributes.

I guess kiosktool could include a command line tool for manipulating setting & 
lockdown attributes in profiles.
