  I've searched through the sources too and reached the same conclusions.

  I've stripped the locateLocal call in defaultConfigFile, rebuilt the package 
and the cascade worked...

  Then I've posted to kdepim list.

  Thanks.

Note to kiosk-team: I think there are some new 
KConfig(locateLocal("config",... in kde sources, some grep might help in 
spotting some of them.
