thanks =)))

i'll just note what i discovered the hard way with kickoff: with some fonts 
bold does not look very different from non-bold =( that said, i doubt that 
will be a big problem here. the screenshot shows how well it stands out given 
the line and indent of the icons.

some semi-random thoughts: that divider line could perhaps use a less bold 
colour than QPalette::Text, e.g. Mid or even MidLight. it would take more 
visual emphasis off of those lines which right now look pretty stark ... and 
technically all that colour stuff should probably be ported over to 
KColorScheme but that's a completely different matter and hardly as critical 
visually as these changes are...

anyways .. i like the improvements, but that's just me =)
