Instead of using 

  KSharedConfigPtr config = 
KSharedConfig::openConfig(KStandardDirs::locateLocal("config", 
"csvimporterrc"));

I suggest to supply a method in CsvImporterPlugin as follows:

KSharedConfigPtr* CsvImporterPlugin::config(void)
{
  return component().isValid() ? component().config() : 0;
}

and use that to extract the config pointer. You could also pass that pointer 
to CsvDialog and it's sub-ordinate objects in the ctor if you like.

Your config file will be named kmm_csvimportrc just like the plugin. This does 
not solve your initial problem, but adds to have clean code.



I am not sure if I understand the problem 100%. You say you have two groups in 
your global config file and you can select from them. Then in the local file, 
only one appears. Does this mean, you cannot access the other one at all after 
you have once selected a profile or what?

A pointer to the code locations you talk about would be of help here.
