Ah. Now I see what you wanted to know. I plan to use KConfig. Whenever 'save' 
is pressed, a function creates a new KConfig object, points it to the new 
config file, and copies the data from the GUI to that object. Loading is 
similar. A new KConfig object poiting to the config file, the data is loaded 
into the GUI, and KConfigXT takes care of updating the main configuration 
file to match the new settings.
