It should definitely be possible to do session management with KConfig and without KXmlGui. I wasn't suggesting otherwise. I was only suggesting to move ownership, i.e. KConfigGui::sessionSavingConfig() saying "the returned KConfig instance is yours, you must delete it once you're done with it". But I'm not 100% sure about this idea. In fact it would break the case were independent slots want to save stuff, so let's forget about that idea. Your description does confirm my thinking that the new method should rather be called something like sessionSavingConfig(). Different signature, different method name, different purpose, different filename... and different underlying KConfig object. - David ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
