to better exemplify, i did put the kcm on plasma-desktop (had to copy the 
lookandfeelaccess class)

so now it does some of the required fancy stuff like immediately applying 
icons, cursors, widget style, colors to gtk apps..
(discovered a neat bug in the meantime, that QQuickWidget that was supposed to 
solve all our problems just dies and stops rendering if the widget style 
changes, but eh, whatever..)

all of that code is horrible kitten-killer old stuff, and comes from old kcms, 
so i tried to use as much as possible including their files (some from 
kcminput, some from krdb.cpp that's statically linked by half of the kcms)

so, horrible++ but i would go this way as the least horrible
