Well, it's not a Qt designer feature. It's KConfigXT in combination with Qt 
designer and a lot of magic behind the scenes. Check out 
http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Using_KConfig_XT to understand 
how it works.

The files you want to look at are:

kmymoney/kmymoney.kcfg
kmymoney/dialogs/settings/ksettingshomedecl.ui

and the usage of

 KMyMoneyGlobalSettings::yourOption()


Does that give you enough to continue? If not, let me know.
