(and sometimes you end up actually working around your own bugs, misidentified 
as bugs lower in the stack :)

that's probably because it isn't connected to accepted(), but to the 
applyClicked() and okClicked() signals. the reason for this is that hitting 
"Apply" does not result in accepted() being called, but it needs to still call 
configChanged() and friends.

so connect to okClicked and applyClicked rather than accepted(). please 
consider adding this to the documentation on techbase as well.
