if you provide a KConfigXT xml file and a designer .ui file in your package, 
you get one made for you "for free". there's an article on techbase about 
KConfigXT and using it with designer files:

http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Using_KConfig_XT

you don't need the kcfgc file, any build system stuff or to create the 
KConfigDialog yourself.

the kcfg file goes into contents/config/main.xml and the ui file goes into 
contents/ui/config.ui

you create your configuration widget, and then add it to the dialog that gets 
passed in with addPage.
