[Kmymoney-devel] Plugin Config File Install

I'm progressing with adding profiles to the csv plugin, and have a 
startup-type query.

Each profile has its own group within the config file, and because the 
config for brokers is, well, complicated, I want to include the two 
broker configs that I've done in the plugin config file, which I install 
in /user/share/.....

So, after installation, those two sections are available, and I load 
into memory from the default config file the parameters for the chosen 
profile.  When the plugin is closed, the current parameters are saved to 
the user's ~/.kde/4 config location, but this new file contains only the 
one profile, the one that was first loaded.

So, the question is, how do I get the two profiles into the user's 
config file?  Is there a way to install into the user's .kde folder 
rather than /usr/share/... ?  I could, I suppose  supply the absolute 
path, but is there a KDEDIR version I can use?  (I've used the absolute 
path now, which is OK, but doesn't allow for distros that use ~/.kde 
instead of ~/.kde4.)  Or, do I have to resort to copying groups from the 
default config into the one that gets saved locally?  That doesn't seem 
the right approach, but...
