Kévin? (this is your port).

Should we add an accessor for the QDialogButtonBox in KConfigDialog?

On one hand this could interfer with some of the internal handling 
(enabling/disabling "Defaults", "Apply", "Restore"...) but on the other hand 
this was possible before too (using KDialog members), and it gives most 
flexibility to the apps (e.g. adding another button, even).
