Otherwise you want to look at KConfigBase which defines most functions 
available in KConfig.

You might want to use "entryMap()" to get all entries within a group, you can 
then write them back to a different group with "setGroup()" and a bunch of  
"writeEntry()" calls. Finaly you can delete the old group with 
"deleteGroup()"
