[patch] Fix network monitor colors and stacking

[Michel Lafon-Puyo]

Hi,

I'm currently working on improvements for the system-monitor applet (see 
http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/3950/) so I could help on this discussion.

I think the plotters should use the Plasma::Theme colors by default but could 
it be a configuration option too?

In fact, a lot of configuration stuff is duplicated among the various applets 
(hdd, net, cpu...). This should be implemented as part as the base class 
(SM::Applet). The color of the lines could be one of the configuration items. 

At the moment, I don't know if "by source" configuration could be useful. We 
could choose the height of each plotters, their type (graphical, analogical 
like the temperature applet, text...) and of course their color. Any thought 
about that? Is it too much configuration options for an applet?

I'm sorry if I have hijacked this thread. Anyway, I'm planning to work on this 
configuration generalization so I could add the color configuration to my todo 
list if you're ok with it.

Cheers,
