I wasn't clear. I don't like the "contact this repository" part if that adds 
anything like connecting to another process, stating a file, reading a file, 
listing a directory or a combination of those things. E.g. it should be a 
solution that hooks into one of the too many files that we read already.

For example the XML file that describes the UI, but I guess the kdeglobal 
config file, or the application specific config file would be fine as well. 
(Since we read those already anyway)

Cheers,
Waldo
