KSharedConfig.openConfig() crashes here too. Actually it complains about 
a "pure virtual method" being called. I don't know where or which 
exactly. KSharedConfig looks like a way of sharing config objects around 
in a C++ program and having it cleaned up in a timely way. It doesn't 
look relevant to Python as we already have better automatic memory 
management.

I always use KGlobal.config() and I'm fairly sure that is the right way 
to go. If that stops working, then get back to me.

cheers,
