K, it isn't very useful at the moment but the control center should be the CENTRAL place in kde for all system settings/info/managment ! (in my eyes). The users love windows 2000 managment console (or better: the most people using 2000 and really working with their system likes it). KDE should have such a central place too (and control center is allready such a place). Therefor I don'T like the idea of removing the information stuff (but nothing against a redesign or a more useful implementation (like some settings for X instead of only a information). cu Christoph > > Michael Jarrett > michaelj@corel.com -- | | / / - get an edge in editing - | | / / »»»» GET KATE «««« | |/ / a fast and capable multiple document, | \ multiple view text editor for KDE | |\ \ | | \ \ http://devel-home.kde.org/~kate
