yuck. something to fix for kde 5 perhaps? ;)

the technical problems could have been brought out in a less bikesheddy way, 
though.
I'm actually a bit unsure about what technical stuff was important in the end 
- iirc we can't remove or move the themes because of some weird BC issue, but 
we can hide them? and I don't remember hearing anything about inheritance...

also, the other day I discovered that the windeco config dialog has a GHNS 
button. which means that I can download whatever crazy theme I want! so even 
my nostalgic desire to keep old themes (except motif, I *hate* motif with a 
passion because one of my old teachers introduced it to a class as The Linux 
Theme) isn't relevant here, all we need visible by default is a couple of good 
themes and an accessibility/network/whatever theme. :)
