Sorry, I meant Plasma and its different interface components---things
like panels, KRunner, etc. Although I seem to recall that some major
applications like Konsole don't have man pages either.

I'm sure there are various text configuration files for KDE applications
and components---I shouldn't say otherwise---but then there are dozens
of components that make up the basic KDE desktop, as well, and KDE is
insanely customizable. The only central configuration is the graphical
"System Settings" interface, and trying to configure things like desktop
panel and menu contents, Dolphin panel arrangements, global keybindings,
or widget placement by hand would be a infeasible.
