Details

Summary

kcmshell5 depends on plasma-workspace. By using our own tiny wrapper for opening the KCM we avoid pulling
in plasma-workspace and everything that comes with it on non-Plasma systems.

Test Plan

kdeconnect-settings shows the KCM

It works for me. I like this a lot better than before because I could never remember how to launch the settings panel! If you like, I can test it on my Ubuntu 18.04 Gnome VM before you merge.

I think this is fine as a temporary solution but we should look into fixing kcmshell dependencies. It uses KWorkspace lib from plasma-workspace for determining the Qt platform to use. And that ends up pulling in everything and the kitchen sink :/
