Two possibilities:
1) kconfig_compiler learns how to do that
2) The entry itself takes a parameter.

BTW I don't think the current configuration code generated by kconfig_compi=
ler=20
is optimal for the kind of usage done by kdockwidget.cpp and kmainwindow.cp=
p.
The KConfigSkeleton object basically provides for a storage object for the=
=20
settings, while KMainWindow and KDockWidget would rather need some sort of=
=20
mapping object that facilitates mapping the properties of various objects=20
(toolbars, windows, etc) to the configuration file.

E.g. if you have 10 windows that you have to store the properties of, it=20
shouldn't be needed to create 10 configuration objects that store these=20
poroperties, it should be enough to have 1 mapping object that can map the=
=20
properties to the configuration file.

Cheers,
Waldo
