Martin: isn't KColorSchemeManager more like a KColorSchemeSelector, despite the 
fact it can return something abstract like a QAbstractItemModel? Looking at the 
code I don't see how it would refresh the internal list/model in case the user 
installs or removes colour schemes, correct?
Do we agree that a KWidgetStyleManager or KWidgetStyleSelector class would not 
return a model (at most a QStringList) and that the preview feature would be 
nice but a bit too expensive?

Side note: the Oxygen demo app makes a great widget style explorer (much better 
than the thingy in the style KCM) and should really be made available as a 
utility dedicated to that purpose.
