To both, merged into the same KConfig object ;-)

kdeglobals.

The merging of kdeglobals, kderc, and kappnamerc, at all levels of the KDEDIRS 
hierarchy. Don't assume that KConfig is about a single file - that's what 
KSimpleConfig is for.

Some file with a random name, containing the session-management data.

Use KGlobal::config() for all of this, use the bool in writeEntry to specify 
when a value should be written into kdeglobals.
