Warning message screenshot

SUMMARY
Konsole shows annoying "Config unwritable, contact your system administrator"
message, while this is actually desired (my configuration files are managed by
home-manager utility, which creates them read-only). Either this warning should
be shown not on startup, but while opening "Settings" of Konsole, or there
should be a configuration option to disable this altogether, as konsole is able
to operate just fine after I close the dialog (configuration is parsed
correctly).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. chmod -w $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/konsolerc
2. konsole

OBSERVED RESULT

A message shows up: https://snag.gy/Tqe5ma.jpg or see attachment

EXPECTED RESULT

Konsole opens without the dialog

SOFTWARE VERSIONS
Kate: 18.08.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am on NixOS (nixos-unstable channel) with i3 as window manager and
home-manager as dotfiles manager.
