Instead of changing KSaveFile or KConfig couldn't we just change=20
KBookmarkManager and the KonqHistory code to not use KSaveFile and instead=
=20
just use QFile and rename() (or add a flag to KSaveFile to allow not syncin=
g=20
before the rename)?

I don't think the problem is that KSaveFile calls sync() since I'd actually=
=20
almost expect that behavior from its API documentation, but instead that co=
de=20
uses KSaveFile where the atomicity/sync guarantee isn't essential.
