With the proposed changes, you do it easily. Don't put X-KDE-RootOnly=true
in the desktop file, add Administrator button in KCModule constructor and
it's up to kfontinst to show or not the message box with the message you
want. Of course, it *could* be put in kdeui to make it available to
any module, what I'm saying is just that the changes I proposed make KControl
flexible enough to achieve what you want.

Michael.
