If there are no objections, I'll commit the KGlobal* stuff tonight
or tomorrow, after I've convinced myself that everything is still
running :-) 

While looking at the settings stuff I've noticed that Qt's
settings (double click interval, cursor blink rate, drag
delay) are only half-heartedly supported. Is it ok to 
introduce another KIPC signal which forwards this settings
to QApplication? 

Btw, it would be a good thing if maintainers of kdelibs stuff
had a look at their header files and either document them
properly or move them into non-installed headers. I have 
already noticed that e. g. khexedit uses a class which is
clearly marked as @internal.

Bernd.
