so, this is how the experiment is going:
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/119534/

it's now getting some settings from the "defaults" config file in the l&f 
package with the rule:

* if the config key is set in kdeglobals, use that, the custom user setting 
always win
* if the config key is not set in kdeglobals, look in the configured l&f 
package
* if not set in the configured l&f package, look in the default l&f package
* if still fails, hardcoded default, exactly as before
* for colors, it looks also if the l&f package is actually shipping a colors 
file (it's looking for a color file with the same name as the one set in 
defaults, probably going to change to a file simply called always just colors)

apart from that, i wonder if this could also add a subdirectory of the package 
as a searchpath for kiconloader

another thing i wonder, if it should monitor for change in the configured l&f 
package (may need modification in KConfig)
