>/home/<username>/.config/powermanagementprofilesrc is the correct file, iirc

I looked and could find no such file while running "sudo dolphin" could it be somewhere else or could the setting be in another file with KDE 4.13.3? 
Do I need to access the file in a different way in order to see it? 
I love hidden Gremlins. They always seem to crop up at the darnedest times.

Once again any ideas?
