## Detailed Description

Class for storing a preferences setting.

  KConfigSkeleton

This class represents one preferences setting as used by KConfigSkeleton. Subclasses of KConfigSkeletonItem implement storage functions for a certain type of setting. Normally you don't have to use this class directly. Use the special addItem() functions of KConfigSkeleton instead. If you subclass this class you will have to register instances with the function KConfigSkeleton::addItem().
