Review request for KDE Accessibility and Peter Grasch.


Changes
-------

Use view-pim-news for the acoustic-model. (I didn't update the diff as there is no change in the code.)


Description
-------

Instead of commenting on Peter's blog with a mockup that would be equally difficult to do like this, I decided to answer with a patch :)
This patch doesn't change anything in the functionality or the interface itself, but it puts icons for each of the 4 categories on the welcome-screen in the background of each (equal to what amarok does and kdevelop will do in it's new welcome-screen).
This helps a bit to seperate the categories better, but more importantly it simply (partially) fetches back the wow-factor the old welcome screen had.
I'm not quite sure, whether these are the best icons for the categories, I'm open to better suggestions.

Testing
-------

Tested with different widget- and color-themes and I think it looks pretty nice with all of them.
