Well I have tried changing it to an Enum but without any luck.
Changing the option too "Bool" and naming the corresponding radio
button to kcfg_optionName worked but as you said this sucks because a
radio button group by definition can have only one value. It models an
option with one value from a defined set not several options as the
"Bool" model (since there is no constraint to force two "Bool"
options, in the same radio button group, to have only one "true"
value).

I'll try to check if we can find a better way. If not the UI files
must be changed. What do you use to edit the UI files? I use
qtassistant (qt4 version) but it seems to change a lot more in the UI
files than I actually changed since opening the file. Is it because
the UI files from kmymoney haven't been edited yet with the
qtassistant from qt4? If yes is it OK to commit the UI files with the
changes automatically done by the designer?

Thanks,
