Well then I got it backwards.  But there was a huge mix (seemingly
random) that was born out of the confusion of the birth of KGlobal, and
many apps used KGlobal::config() and kapp->config() intechangeably.  If
kapp->config() is preferred, it should be documented as such, and a global
search/replace on kdebase needs to be made.
