- From backgnd.cpp:

"-    m_pCBCommon = new QCheckBox(i18n("&Common Background"), group);
+    m_pCBCommon = new QCheckBox(i18n("&Common background"), group);"
The styleguide label section clearly states that checkbox labels should use 
sentance capitialization. Now it does.

"+    QRadioButton *rb = new QRadioButton( i18n("&No wallpaper"), 
m_WallpaperType );
+    rb = new QRadioButton( i18n("&Single wallpaper"), m_WallpaperType );
+    rb = new QRadioButton( i18n("&Multiple wallpapers"), m_WallpaperType );"
Same with radiobuttons...

"-    lbl = new QLabel(i18n("Cache &Size"), m_pTab3);
+    lbl = new QLabel(i18n("Cache &size"), m_pTab3);"
Same with spinbox labels....

If this captialization is no longer the preferred style, I -strongly- suggest 
that you update the styleguide to reflect that change.
