Dear KDE-Enthusiasts,

The KDE Control Center (kcc) is an integrated, modular configuration
application. Instead of providing separate config dialogs like KDisplay,
KWinConfig etc., the control center shows a way to have one point of access
to all configurable options.

Instead of being a monster application, kcc uses dynamically loaded modules
to perform the configuration tasks. These modules can be build and
maintained independently.

To demonstrate the concept, among others modules converted from KDisplay and
KWinconfig are included:

- Desktop settings (background, screensaver, colors, titlebars...)
- Input devices (keyboard, mouse)
- Sound (bell settings)
- System information (memory, processor)

Of course, everybody is encouraged to contribute modules for kcc.
