Thanks Daniel :)

Hi Nadav,
for more information I would suggest reading the tutorials on 
techbase.kde.org.
Parley uses KConfig XT
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials
The relevant tutorials are:
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/KConfig
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Using_KConfig_XT

With the xml file that Daniel pointed out, widgets in a KConfigDialog 
automatically get matched to their respective settings when they are named 
"kcfg_settingName".

Hope that helps a little :)

And welcome!

Greetings
Frederik
