Hi Lotzi

The README in kdebase/kcontrol is quite explicit and helpful. Includes
info about the .desktop file too.

In large lines:

Your config module has to obey:

- control class inherits KCModule 
- you want to reload virtual methods: load(), save(), defaults() and
perhaps init() and buttons()
- you need a C function like:
extern "C" { KCModule *create_SOMETHING(...) { control_class(...) }; };

the SOMETHING will also be the ident particle of the lib name:
libkcm_SOMETHING and the name used to invoke the factory in the .desktop
file.

Look that README
