For the color kcm it is *vital* (well, a revert/rollback anyway); we 
work by fiddling with an in-ram config that is passed around to generate 
palettes for the previews, but should not be written for reasons that I 
hope are obvious. Not being able to do this would mean having to 
duplicate practically all of kcolorscheme.cpp in the kcm, which would suck.

The other users (which I haven't looked at, so I can't say why they need 
to do this) are suppressing the sync() that would otherwise happen when 
the kconfig goes away.
