well the name is in fact KConfigItem :)

well in fact it just encapsulates each type of config data (simple types like 
string, boolean, interger, ... , ranged types (for spinbox and numinput) and 
multi types (for combox and radio buttons)).
It does not do anything with GUI layout but it keep trace of what happened to 
the GUI object that holds the value (load/save/modified/default) and also set 
text/whatsthis/tooltip. It also remembers the group and key to save/read the 
config value via the standard KConfig mecanism.

The framework also has a list of KConfigItem named KConfigCollection and a 
KConfigWidget that just hold such a collection (it's similar to KCmModule if 
I remember well). And finally there is a KConfigDialog that connect its 
buttons to the appropriate KConfigCollection slots.

all this is quite straightforward I'd say :)
