? that is what removing $home does.

You're hopefully not serious about this.

Is it "$home" or "$HOME" or %home% or system dependent or does "~" work or do I have to 
use "/home/`whoami`" - will it update if I change the homedir and how is a user supposed to know that 
removing - whatever string - will implicitly deactivate baloo, maybe even unwanted?

This is bad (actually it is no) UI design and you could as well make the kcm a 
kate part, opening the users rc.

In case that is really not known to you:
We use checkboxes to enable/disable features (even if they add/remove a string 
under the hood - completely does not matter) because that exposes a setting to 
the (average) user.

Telling them to perform some voodoo action, documented maybe in some blog (so 
far not even the fact that $HoMe/* is indexed by default was exposed in the 
GUI), suggests that you (you may take that as plural) do actually not want to 
expose this feature.

Cheers,
Thomas
