[Bug 689865] [NEW] systemsettings breaks comments in config

[Ivan Borzenkov]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

After installation config files contents some comments

for example - part of /etc/kde4/kdm/kdmrc

...
[Xdmcp]
# Whether KDM should listen to incoming XDMCP requests.
# Default is true
Enable=false
# The UDP port on which KDM should listen for XDMCP requests. Do not change.
# Default is 177
#Port=177
# File with the private keys of X-terminals. Required for XDM authentication.
# Default is ""
#KeyFile=/etc/kde4/kdm/kdmkeys
# XDMCP access control file in the usual XDM-Xaccess format.
# Default is "/etc/kde4/kdm/Xaccess"
#Xaccess=
# Number of seconds to wait for display to respond after the user has
# selected a host from the chooser.
# Default is 15
#ChoiceTimeout=10
# Strip domain name from remote display names if it is equal to the local
# domain.
# Default is true
#RemoveDomainname=false
# Use the numeric IP address of the incoming connection on multihomed hosts
# instead of the host name.
# Default is false
#SourceAddress=true
# The program which is invoked to dynamically generate replies to XDMCP
# DirectQuery or BroadcastQuery requests.
# If empty, no program is invoked and "Willing to manage" is sent.
# Default is ""
Willing=/etc/kde4/kdm/Xwilling
...

after edit by systemsettings we get this:

...
[Xdmcp]
Enable=false
Willing=/etc/kde4/kdm/Xwilling
...

and after update kdm package we get conflict, 
in this case we leave comments untouched automerge may work normal even if we change options.
