ah .. it calls restore on the paper inside of setWallpaper. ugh.

so ... a new approach is called for as we're going to run into this same issue 
(nested config groups) in a number of places. i think we should probably just 
do something like this in swapContainment (completely untested =):

KConfigGroup oldConfig = old->config();
oldConfig->copyTo(c->config());

this *should* bring over all the configurations: applets, wallpapers, 
everything. then we can call restore on the new containment with it's own 
config object ..

the only problem here would be buggy applets that don't save their state when 
asked to, but then they'd be buggy to the point of not working on shutdown 
either so this shouldn't matter.
