In fact, there is just one :) but to install it is as hard as there were
also 2 and 3 ;)

Btw. if we are talking about this copy constructor issue I have a question. I am not a developer of kde stuff and I don't understand its specifics, particulary this KConfig class, however, what it is good for to have a copy constructor in the child if the parent declared it private? For me, that means you "cannot make a copy" of the object because you cannot copy attributes of the parent. In reality, you can make it but it won't be a copy because the attributes declared in the parent will be default.
