OK, great. Actually I thought I did not even send this email. KMail troubles. 
In the end I solved it another way: I simply call setReadDefaults(true) on the 
global config before calling the loadConfig methods. This has the additional 
advantage that one can change the defaults by installing a global config file 
(not that anyone will ever do this ;)

I still think, however, that this patch makes sense. Should I wait for more 
comments or go ahead?
