it's usually considered bad form, but in the case it's fine and prevents having 
to beware of null pointers in the lib code and keeps the API as symmetric as 
possible. it's also how we've handled KConfigGroup elsewhere in libplasma, and 
there are other areas of kde that do similarly. for KConfigGroup it simpler and 
sensible to pass it around by reference in these cases.
