     you are displaying many sensor labels

     the config page gets displayed and hidden

     file in ThemeLoader::parseConfig()
  * Completely removed the first arg in KSIM_INIT_PLUGIN()
  * Removed the 'ksim' prefix from the installed headers (eg: ksimblah is
     now blah.h), this only affects people who write plugins as
     eg '#include <ksim/ksimlabel.h>' will become '#include <ksim/label.h>

     would influence if KSim had a twin deco or not
  * Re-worked the KSim::Base class, a derived class of KSim::Base no
     longer has to inherit a QObject derived class and doesn't have to
     reimplement 'void setName(const char *name)'
