The easy way: Open a console and mouse down through the Settings
menu.
To find the config files (since the documentation was fscking
useless), I opened a konsole and did
$ pwd
/home/baloo
$ strace -o konsole.strace konsole
This caused a second konsole to open, which I immediately closed.
After all, we only want to see what's going on at startup here. Now
we want to find out what it's getting from me by proxy through the
filesystem. strace tells you *everything* a program is doing in a
play-by-play format that would make a rodeo auctioneer proud, so we
also pipe it to less so we can read the output. Here, the output will
be edited for brevity, but when you try the real thing, you'll know
exactly what you're looking for when you see it...
$ grep access konsole.strace | grep /home/baloo/.kde | less
access("/home/baloo/.kde/share/config/konsolerc", W_OK) = 0
So, looks like the file you need to take a look at is
~/.kde/share/config/konsolerc
