Well, I do two things:

- there is a $HOME/.mcoprc which contains settings in Name=value format,
  thus it can be written with KConfig, and read with an own class
  (MCOPConfig)

- some options are passed via command line to artsd, it is started by a
  KConfig module

Maybe someone should port the KDE paths class to a plain C++ implementation
(the configuration files are easy to read, but its a bit hard to locate
them using the KDE paths scheme).

   Cu... Stefan
