[Bug 447079] [NEW] konsole uses complete path to it's profiles for favorits and shortcuts in konsolerc

[Achim Bohnet]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

uptodate karmic: KDE 3.4.2: konsole 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu1

if one manages to save the 'Manage Profiles...' settings (see bug
447065)  konsole writes the complete path to the profiles into
konsolerc.  E.g.

[Favorite Profiles]
Favorites=/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/root shell.profile,/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/root @ where-ever.profile,/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/secure remote.profile,/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/Shell.profile
...
[Profile Shortcuts]
Ctrl+(=/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/root @ where-ever.profile
Ctrl+)=/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/root shell.profile
Ctrl+*=/home/allee/.kde/share/apps/konsole/secure remote.profile

As profile are stored in apps/konsole/ that's not necessary and counterproductive:
Using complete path one runs in trouble when username changes,
or one sents ones profiles to other people.
 
Exactly for this problem type KDE3  introduced special methods in KConfig (AFAIR)
to strip $HOME (and maybe(?) other well known places like appdata?)

Please strip the complete directory path or at least $HOME or $KDEDIR.
