i think the symlink follow and uid magic we have in
KConfigINIBackEnd::writeConfigFile could be moved to KSaveFile.
note that this magic is overzealous in writing to the old file in the
symlink case; it could use a regular KSaveFile on the resolved link
target. if this is put i KSaveFile, it should be also possible to
disable this "old file" fallback, as it does not ensure that the old
file is not destroyed until the new one is complete. oh, well, see the
other thread about this ...
