SUMMARY
kreadconfig does not respect filepath . (current directory) as it is known in most shells

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. get a copy of a config file (e.g. here: kwiterc) into current directory
2. change any value in it (e.g. here '1920x1200 screen: Height' from 755 to 720)
3. execute on command line:  kreadconfig6 --file $PWD/kwriterc ...
4. execute on command line:  kreadconfig6 --file ./kwriterc ...


OBSERVED RESULT
kreadconfig6 --file ./kwriterc --group 'MainWindow' --key '1920x1200 screen: Height'
> 755


EXPECTED RESULT
kreadconfig6 --file ./kwriterc --group 'MainWindow' --key '1920x1200 screen: Height'
> 720
