It's still got its share of big problems. It's a simple carbon-copy of OS X=
=20
preferences app -- without the only really useful bit of the origial, the=20
feature where you can drag often used control panel icons onto a bar. And i=
ts=20
layout management is definitely not good enough; it wastes oodles of screen=
=20
space, especially if you open it after having used a big control panel last=
=20
time. The tile bars under icons show really weird word breaks (User -=20
Managemen - t on my system). And after years of claiming that having ordina=
ry=20
and advanced buttons wasn't a solution, that's just what system settings=20
provides.

Not that I oppose your proposal; it's just that I think that if anything,=20
system settings is not in any way beyond mediocre. But then, KControl,=20
although not such a blatant clone of somebody else's work, isn't really=20
better.
