OK, thanks for the clarification. And as I said: I am OK with this approach, 
if the usability team is fine with it.

Are there any other modules that need to be addressed separately if kcontrol 
is dropped?

Yes, that mostly makes sense to me. I still wonder why we can't have this 
improved theme manager within system settings (instead of the other separate 
modules), but my area of expertise is accessibility, not usability, so I'll 
let Ellen comment on it.
