Actually I don't mind that the config files are changed under kwin's feet as 
that's how all kwin kcms work. And I prefer that compared to adding code to 
check if we are in netbook mode. But what I consider as a problem is that you 
cannot savely switch back to desktop mode. Some config options (e.g. button 
ordering) are not restored.

So just an idea: what about adding a new session type to KDM to start into 
netbook mode. The "netbook aware" applications will not use ~/.kde/ for 
storing their config files but let's say ~/.kde-netbook/. That way we can 
setup good default configs and netbook and desktop can be used in parallel 
(e.g. Netbook attached to a external screen as desktop replacement).
