Ah, KJanusWidget once again...

FYI: Kopete now uses KCMs loaded from KSettings::Dialog, so the problem with 
CModule no longer applies to us. For you it's the same old song again though.

You should dig up the old mails from Ravi about it. AFAIR the widget stack in 
the janus widget wasn't properly updated, causing double deletion or dangling 
pointer accesses.

Adding a deleteLater thus might very well solve the problem, as it is run 
through the event loop rather than immediately.
