Yes, definitely. I'm lacking the time to write a detailed response to it right 
now, but I'm really looking forward to get community web services integrated 
with the desktop.

It's not only about simply reading config options. It's also about sharing 
credentials via kwallet, having a central store and management UI for 
cookies, certificates, cache, and consistent handling of offline mode, 
progress information and some other stuff.

I think the best solution would be, if JOLIE could use kio-slaves as transport 
layer. This would naturally give great integration with other KDE 
applications without having to implement all the configuration and shared 
infrastructure again.
