KNewStuff3 .knsrc file fails to load under Windows

[Jasem Mutlaq]

Hello,

Found a new bug today when KStars KNewStuff3 was started. The error is
"Configuration file kstars.knsrc is invalid".

KNewStuff3 sends the filename as "kstars.knsrc" which is under Windows is
installed to $KDEROOT/etc/xdg and also to $APPIMAGEDIR/etc/xdg

Traced problem with KConfigPrivate::changeFilename() where it checks if the
file path is absolute and when it fails it creates a new file. Hence, it
then fails to read any contents. The resource type (GenericConfigLocation)
doesn't appear to be used to find the absolute path of the file.

How to resolve this issue?
