Two remarks then:

1) That might not work because Bero mentioned the defaults where in 
/usr/share/config/kdeveloprc.

2) And what if the user _doesn't_ call the "KDevelop 2.0 setup" wizard? You 
might want to use use the kconf_update framework for this instead, it makes 
sure to update the config files when you start KDE. (Let me know if you need 
something that it doesn't support yet)

Cheers,
Waldo
