that's a bit against the idea of theming (one can simply use a
theme that does not offer the combo at all), but makes sense if you want
it dynamically switchable like you suggested below.

given that much more important options still have no entry in the
control center, i have strong feelings about adding it there.
feel free to change the kcontrol design in a way that makes extending
kcmkdm without making it completely unusable, though. :)

that's in fact quite a good idea ... that also solves the problem that
adding combos for language selection and Xserver options selection would
bloat the gui - just make them invisible in the default setup and add
toggles to the menu. the language selector could additionally get a
button with some flags on it to be obvious.
the second approach is cde-like: put the options directly into the menu.
that makes the combos being toggleable superflous, as they aren't in the
way in any case.
