Is it such that writing QString::Null reads back QString::Null and that writing 
"" reads back ""? Otherwise KLocale and friends shouldn't rely on differences 
between these two.

So please either make kconfig distinguish between these two or
document that kconfig doesn't and fix KLocale.

I prefer the first.
