I doubt KCMs use KSharedConfig::openConfig() or KConfig() without arguments. 
That would lead to "kcmshell5rc" or "systemsettingsrc" right now.
Instead they surely name the config file they want to edit.

If that config file happens to be for a specific application (rather than 
shared), then the KCM will need to open e.g. "kde.org/konquerorrc" instead of 
"konquerorrc", indeed.
