kde won't save display options!

[Matt Price <matt.price@utoronto.ca>]

for reasons that I odn't understand, kde (v. 2, under woody) has
stopped saving the options I choose in the Control Center.  I thought
I'd hu8nt around in the configuration files to see if I could save
them by hand, or figure out if there's some kind of permissions file,
but I can't seem to find the right file.  Does anyone know where
users' display information is stored under kde?  I've looked under
~/.kde/share/config, but haven't found anything that looks right --
e.g., something with a variable like "no_of_desktops" or something.  

I did find .kcmdisplayrc, but that only says: 

matt@anarres:~/.kde/share$ more config/kcmdisplayrc
[DisplayEnergy]
displayEnergySaving=true
displayPowerOff=0
displayStandby=10
displaySuspend=35

[X11]
useResourceManager=true

any help welcome... thanks,
matt
