As long as you never ever open apps under multiple users at the same time, you 
may be able to accomplish this via symbolically linked directories. However, 
make sure all users belong to the group assigned to the files/directories, 
and that all files are group writable, all directories group 
writable/executable.

try something like:

mv /home/new/.kde3/share/config /home/new/.kde3/share/config.old
ln -s /home/existing/.kde3/share/config /home/new/.kde3/share/config

I'd provide more input but I'm holding my 3 month young daughter while I type 
:).
