Yes.

No.

I think the only way to do this is adding a new interface which has a
save/restore function taking a KConfigGroup. Then toolview factory would
always return this interface. Or you put a save/restore on the factory
providing the QWidget of the toolview instance and a kconfiggroup. Then
the factory could internally cast the widget to the right type and
query/set the config stuff.

Though when to do the save and restore, I have no idea...
