KStars Lite issues

[Aleix Pol]

Hi Jasem,
Maybe it would be interesting to add some debug information in:
bool KConfigIniBackend::writeConfig(const QByteArray &locale,
KEntryMap &entryMap,
                                   WriteOptions options)

It would be especially interesting what's the filePath() and in
general to see what's the output of the function itself, which is the
one responsible for saving the file.
