            Bug ID: 351135
           Summary: Certain kwriteconfig changes are mirrored in GUI
                    settings but not applied
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: allan at azic.ca

When I use kwriteconfig5 to change a text key in the exact same manner as  the
GUI, the setting is not applied. However, the GUI setting will now display the
loaded key.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run 'kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc --group kwin --key
'Switch One Desktop Up' 'Ctrl+Alt+Up,none,Switch One Desktop Up' 


Actual Results:  
The text key is changed appropriately.
The new shortcut shows up in the GUI keyboard shortcuts.
However, the setting is not applied.

Expected Results:  
The setting should be applied.

Maybe the settings are reloaded upon load/unload of some modules, which the GUI
does upon 'Apply changes'. However, I do not know which modules these are.

kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kdeglobals --group General --key toolBarFont
'Oxygen-Sans,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0'

kwriteconfig5 --file ~/.config/kglobalshortcutsrc --group kwin --key 'Switch
One Desktop Up' 'Ctrl+Alt+Up,none,Switch One Desktop Up' 

These are two files that I have been unable to load configurations in.
touchpadrc changes are loaded upon logout/login.
