[$e] is used to expand environment variables. It is used for path-based config 
entries so that things like /home/kde-src/.kde/share/config/foorc are turned 
into ~/.kde/share/config/foorc. This allows for better portability of config 
files across systems if you have to transfer your data.

I'm not sure about [$]. There are other possibilities for a KConfig file 
besides [$e] but I don't think [$] is one of them.
