Regarding KControl, I would split that up into the various modules as those 
need to be changed in any case. What you should also regard is only taking 
KDE 2.2 into account as we changed *a lot* for that release specifically 
there due to usability already. Some things are already known to be changed 
such as the mouse modules's second tab which I couldn't finish due to time 
and artist lack. 

Specifically on that second tab, for the double click intervall measurement I 
want to do that by the user clicking on a field and measure the interval, 
then display it by a slider. For that, I want to have two pictures, a) a 
birthday cake and b) a konqui jumping out of that cake. It kinda simulates 
the "jack in the box" thing but a lot nicer with that idea in that it lets 
the user click first instead of setting the interval and then looking how it 
works on a picture test field. (besides that those pictures would look a lot 
nicer)
