Hrmph.  Maybe I'm just too comfortable with the old KControl interface, but=
 I=20
disliked system settings enough that I uninstalled it from my kubuntu=20
installation and am still using the old interface, despite the fact that=20
kubuntu doesn't install an icon for it anywhere.

Will the old interface for KControl be maintained (I don't care if it's the=
=20
default or not) or should I just "get with the times" and start using syste=
m=20
settings?

Just one user,
