Not sure if I understand the question correctly, but all kinds of file locking 
used in KDE are for the purpose of safe-guarding against concurrent writing to 
the same file.

Without any kind of externally enforced single access mechanism such as file 
locking, two processes working on the same on-disk data would otherwise easily 
overwrite each others changes.

Cheers,
Kevin
