Well, it can. Even with normal KConfig. The argument for KConfig is put
through a KStandardDirs::findAllResources("config"), which returns the
file
itself with it's an absolute pathname. 

Anyway, the difference between KSimpleConfig and KConfig is _very_
small.
I would even say, we should move the deleteEntry function to KConfig and
remove KSimpleConfig. I mean, KConfig can write to two files, appnamerc
and
kdeglobals - it would be very simple to either have a isGlobal argument
to
deleteEntry or try both.
