I do have some code here that hopefully works by overriding
usrSetDefaults and usrUseDefaults in KConfigSkeleton. I can't really
test it atm, because KConfigGroup has no support for KUrl and I have no
idea how to add it, because QVariant::userType() returns QVariant::Url
for a KUrl-wrapping QVariant. Which is wrong, it should return a
different value (IIRC sth. like 271).
