From a theme-manager's point of view I would like to have all themable
settings options (borders, pixmaps, backgrounds, etc.) in config files of
their own. 

It is quite a mess now to setup a complete theme in various config files.
I am thinking of some place that contains the GUI related settings that
are themable, e.g. ~/.kde/share/config/current-theme
(this is no good suggestion; it is only for illustration)

But I am not sure how and if this is possible.

OTOH it does not matter that much, as kthememgr is very flexible
in installing themes.
