Ok, here's what I did. By adding some debug statements to
kconfigbase.cpp, running kview causes [kde
prefix]/share/services/tiff.kimgio to be read. If I add:
  rPaths=[kde prefix]/lib
to this file under the section '[Image Format]', then the rPaths
variable above gets the value '[kde prefix]/lib' which is then passed
to lt_dladdsearchdir.

However, if I add the same rPaths entry to
~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals:
  [Image Format]
  rPaths=[kde prefix]/lib
then the rPaths variable above does not have a value. So, it seems
KConfig is not merging in my ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals. What am I
doing wrong?

Note that I remove ~/.kde/share/config/ksycoca to force the config
files to be rebuilt.
