it also provides globalConfig, which allows you to store settings to be sha=
red=20
between instances of the same widget.

per-user, in their kde config directory.

you don't need to worry about that, it's handled for you. every=20
applet/containment is guaranteed to have a unique area in the config file (=
it=20
uses the containment/applet id to formulate that).

the method that takes a group name is just a convenience method so that you=
=20
don't need to do:

KConfigGroup cg =3D config();
cg =3D KConfigGroup(&cg, "SomeGroup");
cg.writeEntry ("foo");

but rather just:

config("SomeGroup").writeEntry("foo");

QSettings are not a good idea in this case as you won't get the administrat=
ion=20
frills of KConfig and the user will not be able to ship their configuration=
=20
with their layout.

the idea behind the config system in Corona/Containment/Applet is that layo=
uts=20
and their config all stay together in one nice, happy file. =3D)
