I wrote
"Apparently we're going to have a plenty of such settings in Kexi."

And used "IF" here:
  "If that's ok to you, it will be no problem to reuse the dialog in other 
KOffice apps once it is present in Kexi 2.0 sometime this year."

The config option in the example was... an example, period. Depending on 
whether you plan to add more features to, say, KWord or remove them, you may 
like to have the setting dialog simplified or not for that app. I used "IF".

I can have it developed silently and internally, preventing reuse, but I 
decided to make you aware there's something possible. Obviously I am not going 
to add chapters about editing config files to the Kexi handbook...
