We get raw binary data from QSplitter, and use toBase64 to encode it to ASCII 
to store it in the config file. We use toBase64 before we store to KConfig 
and use fromBase64 after reading from KConfig.
I dont know any more where we took that from or if I made this up myself, and 
I dont know if this is strictly necessary. Possibly KConfig can perfectly 
well store raw binary data.
If you can confirm that bugs are caused by this and after removal the problems 
are solved, and configuration is always saved, then please commit.
(Keep in mind that when you remove fromBase64 the "broken" digikamrc files 
will fail to load at all.)
