Oh I'm used to it (been using Unix since V6 :-)

What isn't nice is that the KDE options are case sensitive but not
consistent!

For example in kdesktop do grep -i 'readboolentry("enabled' *

desktop.cc: m_bDesktopEnabled = configGroup.readBoolEntry("Enabled", true);
kdiconview.cc:    m_enableDevices=config->readBoolEntry("enabled",false);
lockeng.cc:    bool e  = config->readBoolEntry("Enabled", false);

So that's two with an upper case 'E' and one with a lowercase 'e'. This
really really isn't smart and *will* cause KDE admins to tear out their
hair :-(
