Hmm, we don't have a KOffice-wide config dialog. Funny timing, I explained
yesterday to tnagy why I thought it would be a bad idea to have one
(because either hard to find, or if in the apps, then not obvious it's koffice-wide).

I guess the best place for your "automatically use personal data from the addressbook"
would still be KoDocumentInfoDlg. Hmm, but then it's not obvious either that 
it'll affect all KOffice documents created from now on. Maybe a "Configure..." button
that pops up a separate dialog box?

Another solution is a per-app checkbox in the app config dialog.

Maybe a last solution is a "KOffice options" icon the app config dialogs
(shared code, but available in all apps),
with maybe tnagy's "don't show template dialog on startup" option in it.
However it's not obvious to the user which options are in there and which
ones are in the rest of the dialog, before looking there...

Configuration options ... never easy to handle the right way.
