this is the "easy" way and at least doable. it does mean expecting people to 
read and follow them. we'll need a PIG[1] anyways for other things beyond 
strings. we can start it on the techbase wiki.

as for better ways ... it might make sense to offer some standard bits of 
configuration widgetry that the plasmoid can then call upon to be added to 
the dialog. e.g. a font and colours selection.

we can than create them on deman and populate the KConfigSkeleton object with 
the proper entries. this does mean moving people to UI files and KConfigXt 
xml, but that's where plasmoids of the scripted sort are going anyways.

[1] i am instantly in love with that acronym, btw
