    OK, I was about to react against the move to a member variable configGroup 
(which basically means "accept() will use the last group that was passed to the 
public readConfig method"), but in fact I found the commit log for the addition 
of the public readConfig, and that's apparently what was wanted...
    
    commit 245888935048691e65a89ad8786b896d7bb3be7d

        Provide a readConfig method so one can let the widget read its config 
from a
        custom config group. Useful when embedding this widget somewhere else 
than the
        kfiledialog.
    
    OK then. But maybe Apaku should review this too :)
