if you are calling readConfig from the constructor, it won't work. you can only 
access your config reliably after init() is called on the applet.

furthermore, if you are running it in plasmoidviewer, then the configuration 
that is loaded is the default empty one and then the saved config is loaded. 
this helps test configChanged(), which i'm guessing you haven't implemented in 
your applet. without configChanged(), your applet will not work with desktop 
scripting, for instance.
