It's the other way around we save to .kde/share/apps/kritarc and KDE saves
to .kde/share/apps/krita/krita.rc (at least on my system). Saving to the
kritarc is a problem of it's own. It works with one view, but when you have
two views you can regularly see that the shortcuts save in the kritarc are
lost. It only works because it can fall back to the KDE system.

I think it should be read on view creation and written when shortcuts have
been changed. We also need to save to a separate file, because the kritarc
file might break.
