Like Simon, I think this would be excellent to have! One suggestion, though:

In this case I would add the possibility to specify a KPart instead of the 
key/value system. The key/value system should not be left out here, since in 
many cases it is just what we need. And easy to implement and low on resource 
usage. But for some specialized cases one might want to put a real GUI there 
with widgets and all.

Hmm... isn't that already possible?

Can't remember exactly. I think this already is there. If so, just treat this 
mail as my 'in favour' vote and forget the rest ;-)
