you almost never go back to change these configurations again. Maybe my 
perspective is limited, however I do not see e.g. an icon KCM used more than 
once per month (even stretching things a bit), so using them often is not a 
"common case".

  Sure, if your mental model of the Appearance configuration KCMs is "set it 
once and forget about it forever", then having a slightly slow workflow isn't a 
problem. But if your workflow is different, then it is a problem. Some people 
like trying out new things and change the appearance settings regularly. Some 
people like to manually change their wallpapers every few days. Some people are 
Plasma developers and need to test patches with multiple color schemes/widget 
themes/wallpapers/etc on a regular basis. Etc.
  
  Right now these KCMs are not catering very well to people with these 
workflows. These people may not be the common case, but the common case is a 
person who never looks in these KCMs at all because they are satisfied with the 
defaults. The people who use this configurability at all are probably likely to 
adjust the settings quite a bit and on a semi-regular basis.
