The attached patch:
* fixes translations by actually showing the translated name in the combobox 
instead of the internal id.
* Drops the description.
* It hides B3 (How is it different from KDE classic?)
* It hides Light v2 (I consider it superceded by Light v3)
* Renames System-Series to System (What about dropping one?)
* Drops "Qt" from all names that include that.

Please review.

Cheers,
Waldo
