Well, I think it might happen quite often, so I'm currently thinking
about doing a stat on the config file and see wether the modification
time is newer than the "stored" one. I guess a stat is faster than a
reparse and modification time should be sufficient here.

The given your a QString containing the project file and the
user-specific project file. But with remote projects this doesn't make
much sense and it would allow to create KConfig objects from the files,
which would sooner or later be out-of-sync. The project should deliver
its configuration via a KSharedConfig::Ptr.

I don't see a use-case for a plugin modifiying the project file
directly, but the possibility exists.

Well, we won't catch modifications that are done via something other
than the configuration dialog (I think). So if we allow to modify the
project config from plugins then we need to do this as then we should do
the remote-synch only on project open/close and eventually on the
configuration-dialog-Ok/Apply.
