[Kde-games-devel] Kapman default theme

[Thomas Gallinari]

I just commited a temporary fix to avoid the character rotating with the  
game theme 'Mountain Adventure'.
However as I said it is an ugly *temporary* fix, just in order to have a  
nice render for the release. That means it will have to be improved in a  
later version to make the animations independant from the theme, or  
configurable.
