As we have KDE apps using kdelibs4 this also saves some settings to
~/.kde4/kdeglobals as well as the new place.

I hope by now it's redundant, but I'm not sure.

I'm not convinced how much works.

What I cannot determine so easily is whether it does more than that. Isn't

Not quite. This writes the colours out into the file
~/.config/Trolltech.conf
Qt used to load that as a fallback for loading kdeglobals.

A quick grep seems (unsurpsingly) this doesn't have an effect on Qt5.

Which platform plugin are you using?

If the platform plugin doesn't load anything, it seems it will use
qt_fusionPalette() which is hardcoded.
