many, many other kcontrol modules are also about "themes" (e.g. System 
Notifications, Kicker panel layout, etc...). the point of Appearance and 
Themes is to contain things that alter the way the entire desktop and all KDE 
applications look.

it's how you use the keyboard to access features in apps ;-) yes, a little 
weak. but "peripherals" isn't "right" either (hardware), and it doesn't have 
anything to do with the way things look. it does, however, put it next to the 
keyboard layout control panel.
