Perhaps I can do something in that respect, but it's more than just the colors 
in the setup.

I don't agree. On a multiuser system (like almost all modern systems) the 
settings should be in the user subdirectory. To write where the executable is 
usually requires admin-rights.
Via commandline option --config <filename> you can specify other locations. 
Perhaps this helps if you wrap the exe with a batch-script or create a link.
Or you could patch: KStandardDirs::findResource() in
src-QT4/kreplacements/kreplacements.cpp appropriately and recompile yourself.
