we could encourage the use of Qt Designer, whose files can be loaded at 
runtime (see the KJSEmbed demo apps for examples of this). if we also make 
KConfigXT easy enough to access then it becomes even simpler by leveraging 
KConfigSkeleton

the trick here will be making KConfigXT files usable directly from XML at 
runtime the same way QWidgetFactory does for Designer files so that they 
don't have to be preprocessed for usage. this should be doable by creating a 
factory class for KConfigSkeleton::Item* classes. for accessing the settings 
we could put a requirement on bindings to generate the required methods at 
runtime, which is possible at least with KJSEmbed and Ruby. i'm sure Python 
can do similarly?
