Hello,

I'd like to polish systemsettings a bit. The first issue I'd like to resolve 
is that sometimes the Reset and Apply buttons need to be scrolled to which is 
very annoying. Instead, the configuration modules should become scrollable 
themselves if they don't fit inside the view.

My second idea for systemsettings is to replace the current ModuleView by 
KCategorizedView in systemsettings. I think KCategorizedView has the same 
abstract use case as ModuleView. (Namely, to categorize items) In addition, 
it behaves better when resizing. So this should not only eliminate the need 
to set the minimum size of systemsettings to QSize(700, 500) but should also 
simplify its code base.

Unfortunately, KCategorizedView is currently only available in dolphin. It's 
name, however, suggests that it will be part of the KDE standard widgets. So 
I wonder what the reason is that it still lives inside dolphin only? Are 
there any plans to move KCategorizedView into kdeui? As a workaround, I could 
temporarily copy KCategorizedView from dolphin.

What do you think?

Best whishes,
Bernhard
