In general the permissions on the config files seem to be a mess after 
installation for some reason. The file may be read-only or otherwise 
protected or a symbolic link to a read only system default setting.

If you want to see what files the program opens, exactly, use strace or 
read the source. I found k* documentation to be windowishly terse. A 
useful strace run would be:

strace Kwifimanager 2>&1|grep -E "open\("|less

(from a command line)
