-theming (#37349):
-- maybe add a Themable plugin flag. if not set and no talker, abort.
-- minor: show QWidgets only when the layout is ready and the theme was painted.
-  but one can't hide the widgets in a QLayout, as they have no size then.
-- add attribute inheritance. apply attributes extracted from particular
-  elements of the (hidden) talker.
-- make plugin return a QDom instead of embedding a QLayoutItem (QLabels look
-  just awful in the themed greeter). big problem: there is no KdmGrid ... try
-  to (ab)use QLayout.
-- extract background from theme. use explicit node-id "background", i think.
-- automatic talker node detection/creation. same for background, possibly.
+- too many too big repaints in themer
 
-- remote login can have the chosen host as the sessName
-- popup menu grabs keyboard. that means it is ungrabbed afterwards ...
