I investigated this, and there does not seem to be an easy way to do it
with QML plasmoids.  If you just ask for something "from the theme", you
can't provide a default in the plasmoid.  To get something from the
plasmoid, you have to explicitly get it from there, and it can't then be
overridden in the theme.

I'm CCing the plasma-devel list; does anyone know if there's a good
solution for this?
