This change broke the "recent files" dialog in koffice, which shows broken icons with no texts now.
The reason is that it parses the [RecentFiles] group itself, and treats every FileN entry as a url, 
which it's not anymore. Behavior compatibility is as important as binary compatibility :(

Well, too late to back down now, I'll fix the parsing in koffice; just something to
keep in mind later: it's hard to know what exactly will be broken by changing the format of 
a KConfig file...
