One can, however, make values unoverridable by marking them as immutable.
This is done by adding [$i] to the key in one of the configs in the search 
path after the user's local config.

E.g. if you hae /etc/kde4/kwinrc like in the above list with
[Windows]
ElectricBorderMaximize=false

this would make the key unoverridable for user configs
ElectricBorderMaximize[$i]=false

The immutable modifier can also be applied to whole groups, e.g. [Windows][$i]
