Well I don't want to change the light weight implementation of the eID 
feature, which is really helpful. But the configuration of the AJAX app 
is a mature problem in the TYPO3-AJAX development.

Perhaps there is a butter way to solve this. But all other solutions 
(e.g. saving the $conf var in the FE session, using a temp file) have 
drawbacks too.

IMHO this is a architecture problem of TYPO3 and should find a solution 
before the introduction of AJAX in 4.1.
