Configuration dialogs for Calligra Applications

Hi,
I am a new contributor to Calligra and was trying to resolve
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260516 . I found while discussing on
IRC that the feature is already implemented, and only configuration options
are missing in Words (but are present in Stage, Tables etc).
Now, If I try to add a similar config dialog to Words, it will be a trivial
task, but there is a consistency problem in doing it like this. Already the
autosave settings in Stage and Tables feel different, and are implemented
using different dialogs. I think that it will be really good if such options
that are common to all Calligra apps be defined at one place and shared by
the different applications.
So, I have two questions here-
1. Is the idea of sharing configuration dialog and common configuration
pages sane? I don't have much idea about Calligra's (and hence KOffice's)
history so if this has been already discussed, please point to the ML
thread.
2. To implement a shared dialog, where is the best place to add the dialog?
Being new to the codebase, lots of classes come to my mind (like
KOApplication, KODocument etc) so I need a little bit of help here.
Thanks,
