Yes, I think I found your problem, kdelibs/kresources/managerimpl.cpp passes a 
full path to KConfig so KConfig will not do any cascading in this case.

For kde-pim developers that are listening:
See ManagerImpl::createStandardConfig() which creates a KConfig using  
defaultConfigFile( mFamily ) as argument, which does:
	return locateLocal( "config",
                      QString( "kresources/%1/stdrc" ).arg( family ) );

Cascading would work just fine if the KConfig object was created with only 
QString( "kresources/%1/stdrc" ).arg( family ) as argument instead of the 
full path.

Cheers,
Waldo
