Q: kconfig without kaboutdata behavior

[Harald Sitter]

ahoy,

I just wanted to ask whether it is still mandatory to have a
KAboutData instance set to have classes such as KConfigShared work in
a convenient fashion (e.g. KConfigShared::openConfig() will open the
applications config as long as qapp::applicationName is set).

In my particular case the phonon platform plugin in 4.x times manually
injected a KComponentData instance in pure qapplications in order to
use KConfigShared::openConfig().

TIA
