It is already, I think. At least it already recognizes a widget called
kcfg_foobar that has KUrlRequester type. So the widget is in the
knownWidget list of the KConfigDialogManager.

Thats also already the case.

Thats something that is missing indeed. But this is not the real
problem...

One problem is: kconfig_compiler doesn't support KUrl at all and
apparently it doesn't support the KConfigSkeleton::ItemProperty type
either.

Anyway, I found that using the code that I quoted still doesn't work
because when using a String type for the property
KConfigSkeleton::ItemString calls QVariant::toString() which returns an
empty string for a KUrl.

So either a new ItemKUrl type is needed or kconfig_compiler needs to get
support for the ItemProperty class which should also be able to handle
this.
