Depends, if Konqueror is started, it might not pick up changes to the config file 
from a different process, and on exit happily overwrite whatever you wrote in the 
config. That same scenario is possible the other way round, your app overwriting 
changes konqi made to the config. You need some way to notify the other app that is 
concurrently accessing the same configuration file of the change and re-read the 
configuration.

That's of course only true for file-based KConfig. :)
