This is a general method for working out where settings are kept. Get a command prompt and type

$ touch now

then change the settings you are interested in for yourself. Then at the command prompt run

$ find . -newer now

This finds all files which have been changed/created since the file 'now' was changed/created. Look at the files listed and you'll find the one which contains the settings you just changed. Now look at the name of that file - they'll be a file with the same name somewhere in the KDE install. Use

$ locate filename

to find it. If you don't have locate install then try the much slower:

$ find / -name filename

Once you're found the file in the KDE install copy over the relevant lines from your own config files. Then create a new account to check the settings take effect. Beware that your custom settings may be wiped out by the installation of updates to KDE. Where I work we keep our customs versions of files in a separate directory and use an init script to copy them to the desired locations on boot. This combined with rigging the machines to only install updates during the shutdown sequence ensures our config tweaks remain in place.
