Waitaminute. I reverted the commit mainly because of two reasons:

- it didn't compile
- after I made it compile, I was unable to restart KDE. 

thats why I wrote "revert to the old but working KConfig" in the commit. I 
wanted to keep the damage small because IMHO although HEAD is the 
experimental branch - it doesn't mean that anybody can simple completely 
break it. 

That said, I still like the idea of your changes very much. However, you 
should have given the other developers a bit more time to _try_ and review 
your patch. There was no need to hurry and to commit it yesterday in an 
obviously untested state. I don't mind if you commit untested parts 
noncritical applications, but I hope you understand that kdecore is a bit 
different.  

Okay, so lets return to the technical parts again..

Yup!
