Ok, the only thing I really want to prevent is that we 
will change kpersonalizer into a hardware-setting-tool in KDE.
This would very probably lead to kpersonalizer being replaced by the 
distribution-specific hardware-setting-applications. Thereby the work of the 
kpersonalizer-team would become obsolete. 
Also I want to prevent that kpersonalizer gets so advanced that a newbie 
can't use it anymore.
 
I did some quick&dirty research and it seems that a Left/Right-handed-setting 
is not part of any hardwaresettings-tools provided by most distributions 
(correct me if I'm wrong). Also it would be quite consistent to care as much 
about the mouse-layout as for the keyboard-layout (which should be done in 
Step 1 automatically). Another point is of course that mice as well as 
left-handed people are very very common :-) 
Therefore it might make sense to include a step between step 1 and step 2 to 
set the left/righthanded behaviour according to the user's needs.

I'm not really sure if we can add this before the next Beta or if we should 
add this after the beta (if possible). After all there is some decoration to 
be done (Hi qwertz :-) and some code  ... It's fine to hear that Thomas has 
no problems with additional messages in this situation.

Greetings,
Tackat
