Well, I'm not sure we'd expect secondary threads to pop up a dialog though (as 
KConfig::isConfigWritable(true /*warn user*/) does, via QProcess("kdialog")).

This bit (the warnUser code) isn't really about an optimization, but about 
doing that stuff only in the main thread, where GUI apps initialize the main 
config object and where user-interaction is expected.
