Script - writeConfig with QVariant

[El boulangero]

Hi,

> if you look at [1] you can see that there is no code path for
QVariant::Map.

thanks for the hint. I read that and also the KConfig tutorial [1], now I
understand better how it's supposed to work.

In the end I wrote a little serialize/deserialize function to automatically
read/write my JSON to the config file, it's very simple and it works great.

However, for each object (like QTime object or QList), I need to pass it to
Amarok.writeConfig() as a string, otherwise I get the error message
mentioned in my first mail:
> TypeError: ambiguous call of overloaded function writeConfig()

It's not a problem though, passing these objects as strings (with the JS
toString() function) gives the expected result.

Problem solved for me, thanks for the help !

Regards,
Arnaud
