--- Comment #1 from fausto.nunez at mailbox.org <fausto.nunez at mailbox.org> ---
I can reproduce this issue on NixOS with KDE Plasma 6.4.1 and Qt 6.9.0.

Using `strace` to monitor file access, kcolorchooser only reads configuration
files but never writes when saving custom colors. The application shows no
`write()` system calls to any config files during the save operation.

Custom colors persist within the current session but are lost on restart
because they're never written to disk. Previously I was able to manually edit
~/.config/QtProject.conf to customize the palette, but that no longer works as
kcolorchooser appears to ignore Qt's standard custom color configuration.

**Expected:** Custom colors should be saved to `~/.config/QtProject.conf` or
KDE config files.  
**Actual:** No configuration data is written anywhere.

This appears to be a missing save implementation rather than a file permission
or path issue.
