Ups, I guess I should have answered sooner.

The thing is that you have to overload the

void init()
void apply()
void defaultValues()

etc. of KControlApplication to have the buttons work. 

I know that the KControl API is not very good, which has some
reasons in the very past. I intend to improve this quite a bit
for KDE 2.0, but for the time being, please take a look at the
existing kcontrol modules to find out how it works.

Bye,
Matthias.
