I had a similar bug in ksysguard as well some years ago... the problem
was, that KMainWindow::applyMainWindowSettings() set a new group without
restoring it. That's fixed in CVS HEAD now.

BTW, I know KConfigGroup should be used instead of KConfigGroupSaver,
but KConfigGroup is designed in the wrong way IMHO.

I'd would expect to do the following

void foorbar( KConfig *config )
{
  KConfigGroup group( config, "myGroup" );

  readValue( &group, "MyKey" );
}

The problem is, that most methods like 'readValue' expect a KConfig* and
not a KConfigBase*, so you can't really use KConfigGroup in real life...

Ciao,
Tobias
