Okay, if you harp on me for not removing your email, fair enough. But
now you're going to harp on me for not removing the address of others?
You, sir, have gone to far. ;) Anyway, Mauricio loves spam.

I had considered the KConfig approach as well, but the default.desktop
is used for more than just the case you describe. I also use it in the
case where the selected theme fails to load, or if the theme stored in
the config doesn't exist.

Being able to rely on the existence of a default.desktop is convenient
in such cases. I'm not saying a KConfig based solution couldn't be
made to work, but it is just something else to consider.
