Actually this begs the question of why we cannot have a full kcm for setting 
user environment variables and such, liken to the Windows 2k/XP one under the 
System Preferences panel in the Windows Control Panel? While KDE has hidden

underside, we've yet to see a complete solution to all the other little 
mundane segments get KDE-ified.
