Clearly it is; the solution came from a FreeBSD context.

The "brute" way to solve this would be to figure out where the additional setting from the kdeglobal ini file is applied, and then change the built-in default setting accordingly. That would still leave the possibility to opt for the other setting via the ini file.

I didn't say there would not be hurdles ... but there's only 1 way to find out. However, I restored my home dir with its 4.12 settings from LMDE to a new Kubuntu 14.04 install, and from the user PoV that transition went without glitches - even the desktop search stuff (which has seen the most internal changes).
