in fact my code implements two concepts that probably need to be separated 
indeed :
- config key, type, range, default, description, ... (which could probably be 
nicely implemented with Marc scheme).
- tracking of the config state (for config dialogs) which needs a QObject to 
receive/emit signals (like modified) from the config element Q/KWidget to the 
dialog.... thinking about it, it is propably not necessary to have a QObject 
by config element though :)

PS: btw talking about XML validation at build time : is there any reason why 
the ui.rc files aren't checked for validity at build time ? (perharps there 
are ? Stephan ?) there seems to be no dtd though...
