Hi,

please no punching, spitting or biting. Yesterday, I found myself going=20
through the rc config files of some KDE applications and thought that=20
it might be actually kind of cool to have a tool like registry editor=20
on windows. I looked at kdenonbeta and since I didn't find a tool like=20
that I wrote one for myself. After using it for a while I decided that=20
someone else might find it just as usefull, which would justify=20
maintaining it for me. For now it can search, change, add and remove=20
both keys and values. It's super simple, should probably be written as=20
a control center module and doesn't warn you when you try to change=20
anything ( yes, you can break some stuff by using it, just like with a=20
windows version of registry editor). It probably would be kind of cool=20
to add ability to control other key:value based config files, like e.g.=20
Xdefaults, and ability to export and import configurations but someone=20
would actually have to find a need for it, because it already does what=20
I personally wanted. Let me know what you think. Oh, and of course a=20
mandatory "how does it look like" thingy:
