[PyQt] PyQt-4.5 KConfigGroup incompatibility problem?

Hi!

Since PyQt4.5, a call to a KConfigGroup.readEntry always returns a QVariant:

>>> config  = KGlobal.config().group('blaat').group('blaat')
>>> r = config.readEntry('blaat', 'bla')
>>> r

PyQt 4.4.3 shows: PyQt4.QtCore.QString(u'bla')
PyQt 4.5 shows: <PyQt4.QtCore.QVariant object at 0x84b1b6c>

to keep my program working in both PyQt 4.4 and 4.5 should I change every call 
to:

>>> r = config.readEntry('blaat', QVariant('bla')).toString()

?

Many thanks for an enlightening answer,
Wilbert Berendsen
