Hmm, what about an additional UI?
As far as I know there is no enforces one-to-one mapping of KCM and=20
service/config file, basically any KCM can change any config.

If we had an alternative KCM that exposes more features of the underlyi=
ng=20
config then OSVs and/or sysadmins could decide which one (or both) woul=
d show=20
up in systemsettings depending on their users' needs.

It also makes it great for user support when one can have a
kcmshell4 something
command which will open advanced settings for people who need it withou=
t=20
having to fall back to giving instructions how to manually edit a file.=


Eventually the simple KCM could even gain a button or similar to show t=
he=20
advanced UI on demand.

Cheers,
Kevin
