another idea:
make KConfig implicitly shared where detaching only detaches the currently set 
group. This way the in memory representation of one config file is always 
shared while different KConfig objects of the same config file don't change 
each others group with setGroup. Calling setGroup would implicitly detach...

Then I believe we could remove KSharedConfig and make KConfig behave like 
KSharedConfig does (i.e. have max. one in memory representation per config 
file).
