default plasma theme and fallback

[J Janz]

I think c) is the most interesting, as it would let people to rely on any
theme they want to (and who'd make a third party theme relying on another
third party theme would have conscience it's not KDE's and, as so, could be
unstable and s/he'd have to be sure the theme is ok time to time), but b) is
surely the safest option.
So, anyway, I go with c) for more options for themes.

Cheers,
