And what happens when you reopen kcmshell fonts ? Do you see the correct fonts
or did it revert to default ? For me it doesn't manage to load anything.
I think there's a bug in KConfig after the recent changes (-> Waldo ? :).
It can't find anything when loading from the config files.
I think the bug is something like "~/.kderc isn't read by KConfig".

Why are those keys written out to ~/.kderc instead of kdeglobals, BTW ?
(Maybe that's the bug). Hasn't .kderc replaced with kdeglobals ?
