If we can do without it, it'd be a step backwards from where we are now. We 
have a couple of toolbar buttons which modify the application settings, and 
our config dialog is created on demand, so such a solution would certainly 
not be simple or clean. Also, currently we have different signals being 
emitted when different sections of the configuration change (the signals 
aren't emitted until save() is called on the preferences object). So, it'd be 
much less messy sticking as we are without KConfigXT for now.
