this is because QString() is mutable while python strings are immutable.
When dealing with KCoreConfig, do not use QString as local variables,
always convert explicitly from/to python strings.

I wonder what happens with this when the QString will be eliminated
in PyQt4 as announced. That might break code which relies on 
QString being mutable.
