it really sounds like init() is being called from the constructor in your own 
applet, and then init() is then being called at the appropriate time later by 
Plasma::Containment in libplasma.

i don't see this in the code you patebin'd however, which makes it fairly 
confusing ... since what you describe doesn't match the code you shared?

configChanged() is only called automatically when the config dialog is 
accepted by the user. it is never called otherwise. so i'm not sure what is 
going on with your applet :)
