I'm expecting to move the layout to KListView when it's ready

Arguably the theme manager should be a separate application, but I'm
happy to include it along with a few changes (removing the links to
other control modules).

Of course, we need to add a few more Categories to the .desktop files
but otherwise it's just the same.
