I know the word "toys" implies entertainment value, but what's in the toys 
group seem like utilities to me. I think the word "toys" in english is almost 
synonymous with the word "games". What's in kdetoys are slightly more on the 
utility side than games, imho. How about some completely different word such 
as "Accessories"? I don't think that the exact right fit, but I think it's 
slightly better than toys. I think many new users will wonder what the 
difference between "Toys" and "Games" are, and why they are not grouped 
together. On the other hand, I think people, once they use the apps 
themselves, might consider why they are not grouped with "Utilities". 

So, I think Toys should either be a subgroup in Games or Utilites, or some 
other word should be chosen.
