"""
kreadconfig.py dumps KDE configuration files. 
It is usefull for debugging KDE Kiosks settings,
where multiple config files are merged into the final configuration.  

The directory hierarchie for config files 
is based on the KDEDIRS environment variable
and can be made visible by  the command
kde4-config --path config

kreadconfig has a similiar purpose,
but is limited to a single value
