What do you mean with lazy loading? Loading by accident? The way I'm doing it 
for my KView plugins is:
(void)new KViewPluginnameConfModule( this );
And that works just great, because when the plugin is deleted the module 
disappears automatically (thanks to QObject).

With design you're only talking about overlapping naming of modules? Hmm, what 
about the way Kate does it? Using a KDialogBase::TreeList and creating 
entries for the application and every part. Modules are then inserted as 
subentries.

OK, if you think it's bad using the Singleton Pattern I'd like to hear an 
alternative. Currently I can't imagine anything better than what I wrote ;-)
