 I can't say I'd like very much the idea of making KWin link libplasma, but 
that's not the reason why I don't like this. The reason is that I don't see 
why it should stop using the standard way to get colors and instead use a 
Plasma-specific replacement. And, if this patch went in, would that mean that 
other "random" places would have to be patched this way too?
