Hi,

It seems that the ini\_file module converts all options of the original  
file to lower case. I am not sure if this expected or not but it broke  
my displaymanager when configuring /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc in Fedora 20.

It bluntly changes the behavior of the module to always leave the case  
as is. I am not a python coder, so if this change is unacceptable I hope  
somebody steps forward to implement it 'The Right Way' and please  
consider this a bugreport.
