I didn't like the behaviour of kcontrol on it's opening screen.
To see this, shut down kcontrol and start it again. It always opens on the about \
screen. 

I have posted a before and after patching picture at:
http://www.unimagination.com/

I have experimented with the layout and this patch to 
kdebase/kcontrol/kcontrol/aboutwidget.cpp gives what i believe is a better use of the \
available screen space.  Without it the spanner/wrench, pushes the text (which i \
think is more important than the background image) and makes it too small.

I have attached the patch too if that is easier to use. 
I don't have commit access, so if there is a general consensus that this is okay \
could some-one commit it please.
