Thanks Lyndell Not sure if I understand the question correctly, but all kinds of file locking used in KDE are for the purpose of safe-guarding against concurrent writing to the same file. Without any kind of externally enforced single access mechanism such as file locking, two processes working on the same on-disk data would otherwise easily overwrite each others changes.
