The related setting is in ~/-kde4/share/config/kdeglobals
[Locale]
NegativeMonetarySignPosition=x
A value of 4 represents the parenthesis. Set it to 0 or remove the
attribute to restore the result.
Mine only has:
[Locale]
Country=us
DateFormatShort=%Y-%m-%d
Language=en_US
and adding
NegativeMonetarySignPosition=0
has no effect - but I won't be able to actually restart KDE for a while
- I've got a long compile going on and don't want to interrupt it.
I'll report back when I can restart.
