Ok. I've added:
	KApplication::completionMode() 

which can return:
CompletionNone: no completion at all
CompletionAuto: auto completion
CompletionEOL: completion at the end of line with Right/End key.

For the time being you can configure this manually in
kde/share/config/kdeglobals according to:

Key: completionMode
Value: 1, CompletionNone
          2, CompletionAuto
          3, CompletionEOL

It defaults to, *surprise*, 3 :-)

While I was at it I have also added:
	KApplication::useDoubleClicks()

if it returns true, actions should be done on double clicks,
if it returns false, actions should be done on single clicks.

For the time being you can configure this manually in
kde/share/config/kdeglobals according to:

Key: doubleClicks
Value: false, single clicks
          true, double clicks.

It defaults to false.

Cheers,
Waldo
