It is me again ;-) kcontrol enables shell expansion for this configuration entry, so the key is followed by [$e] and i have no clue how to enable shell expansion with kwriteconfig. If you may ask what the exclamation mark is for: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/104958/what-does-an-exclamation-mark-at-the-beginning-of-a-value-in-kde-configuration-f "The exclamation mark for the BrowserApplication entry in kdeglobalsrc is used to distinguish between an actual binary name to be executed for launching the browser or the name of a browser's *.desktop file." ...uh... i'm late ... need to drive to hungary... maybe i have later more time...
