We're not doing that. I get that it will fix your bug, but there's a myriad of
new challenges and there's a limit in what features we should support for code
maintenance. 
Ultimately from a system settings POV we're managing the file and clearing up
whatever else the user has left in the way. 

If you guys want to patch it in Nix:
 - kxftconfig.cpp in  where m_file is created wrap it in 
QFile::filesystemSymLinkTarget
