[PyQt] PyKDE segfaults when calling group() on KSharedConfig object

[Benno Dielmann]

Hi, 

thanks, Simon, for looking into this and in general for your great work on 
PyKDE :-). 

I'm using KGlobal.config() in my application now. What is the difference between 
this and KSharedConfig.openConfig()? What is the preferred way of getting access 
to the configuration system? From the api docs this isn't clear to me...

Cheers, 

Benno.
