Let me write down some ideas/proposals to stimulate the dying discussion:

- "File Browsing"->"File Manager" like Konqueror is referred to everywher=
e.
- Merge "Desktop/Trash" options into the "File Manager/Behaviour" kcm.
- Delete "Help" category, move "KHelpCenter" to "System" (requires root p=
riv.)
- Rename "Personalization" to "Advanced".
- Move "Desktop/Paths" to "Advanced".
- Move "Network/Email" & "Country & Language" to toplevel (used by every =
user)
- Move "Power Control" hierarchy into "System".
- Move "Web Browsing/Proxy" into "Network".
- Move "Open links in new tabs" option from "File Manager/Behaviour" to "=
Web
  Browsing/Behaviour" because most users expect it (only) to work in web =
mode.
- I agree that "Printing Manager" makes more sense in "System" (root priv=
=2E).
- Move "System/Desktop Sharing" into "Network".
- "System/Alarm Client", "System/XML RPC Daemon" and "Advanced/Konsole/Wr=
ite
  Daemon" should be merged into "System/KDE Service Manager" (in progress=
).
- "Address Book Configuration", "Component Chooser", "Email"'s preferred =
email
  client and "Konsole"'s default terminal application should be merged. A=
fter
  the two Konsole related changes "Personalization/Konsole" can be remove=
d.
- "System/CGI KIO Slave" (who needs that?) fits perhaps better in "Advanc=
ed".
- "Web Browsing"->"Web Browser", "Spell Checking"->"Spell Checker" and so=
 on.

Grouping "Spell Checking" with "Language" makes sense but you don't want
to break up "Country & Language" into five tabs? Perhaps "Local Tab" as
own "Country & Language" and the remaining tabs as "Locale" tab? If we
do this, "Email" as sole toplevel is bad and should be left in "Network".

There will be people to change all if there is consensus about the direct=
ion.
