I actually started a branch to use QSettings instead of KConfig for
KColorScheme with some changes to the public API that does this.

qsettings/

This does away with per color cascading, and imo there's not much use 
case for
it. When introducing the Header color set extra effort was taken to NOT 
have
cascading for those. Also Plasma will only allow creating full color 
schemes
from the gui iirc.

The reason I did not finish this because I hit a stumbling block, that
QSettings cannot deal with nested groups (see the latest few commits in 
the
branch), so our current format '[Colors:Button][Inactive]' does not work 
which
we should keep imo and we had to copy the group parsing from KConfig. So 
that
might indeed make sense.
