that would require writing our own factory function macros (instead of using 
the kde ones, which are pretty much one library -> one plugin). in this case, 
though, it's not really necessary; one plugin should be able to support 
multiple modes just fine.

to avoid loading plugins to discover these capabilities, it will likely 
require having .desktop files for each mode. a plugin can install multiple 
files, though, so the current wallpaper system could be one plugin with 2 
.desktop files.
