Yes, it's always good to give user familiar looking interfaces to work with, 
so using same layout is the way to go.

I was wondering how to select Open/New Stuff consistently:
- Select theme -> Press 'Add to Desktop' -> theme starts on desktop
- Select Open/New Stuff -> doubleclick / ??? -> open dialog / KNewStuff Dialog

At the moment superkaramba can start same theme twice but config files are not 
handled correctly. This is something that should be taken care of. Running 
multiple 'hdd free space' themes for different partitions is for e.g. a case 
where multiple instances might be handy.
