The /etc/kderc here is from Debians kdelibs 2.1.2 package.  I wasn't aware
that I use it until Coolo pointed it out.  I'll ask later on debian-kde
why it's there at all >:}

It's not recursive but a '... add two lines to ${use_sysconfdir_used_during_kdelibs\
_configure_time_and_used_to_link_this_koffice_build}/kderc' can't be called
'simple' ;)

Well, I'll investigate if Debian KDE really relies on /etc/kderc (look like :( )
in the meantime I've the source so I can
s|/etc/kderc|/path/to/my/kde/cvs/build/etc/kderc| in kconfigbackend.cpp
and rebuild kdecore.
