If that is all that happens, it seems like a harmless irritation.
Perhaps you can find a way to restrict KConfigIni's search path to
something more sensible.

But in the future it probably would be more consistent with the rest of
Emacs if desktop used user-emacs-directory in preference to the home
directory, if no desktop-file already exists in the home directory.
