exactly:) to create a sub group just call group("subgroup name") from
an existing group like so:

KConfigGroup group1 = configFile.group("group1"); // creates [group1]
KConfigGroup subgroup1 = group1.group("subgroup1"); // creates
[group1/subgroup1]
KConfigGroup subsubgroup1 = subgroup1.group("subsubgroup1"); //
creates [group1/subgroup1/subsubgroup1]
