Manually reload kde options

Question

If I change some settings in ~/.kde4/share/config/* is there a command or method for reloading those settings without restarting X or logging-off?

Create a copy of the file, if you do some bad changes to the original file. — stderr, Jun 03 '13 at 00:32

Depending on what needs to be reloaded, you can also try

killall kded4 kded4

Have you tried 'kwin --replace &'? I've used that when kde gets 'stuck', but it might read the new settings first.

That reloads the window manager, but the setting I'm changing does not reload. In particular it is touchpadEnabled=bool in the file ktouchpadenablerrc – Wolfizen Jun 03 '13 at 00:59
