Something perhaps a little bit off topic. But I was wondering : when 
selecting (for example) the background mode in look 'n feel (flat, pattern 
etc), is the only way to know about what options are possible here to check 
the dialog code in the relevant kcontrol module ? In other words, is there a 
way to determine what entries are possible given a config file ? 
I'm asking this because I was wondering if it would be possible to wrap a lot 
of advanced config options up in a large tree (if you like) similar to the 
one used in IE's advanced internet options. This would allow 'advanced' users 
to edit tiny boolean/numerical/etc values in a fast way. An idea ?

Thanks in advance,

Jelmer Feenstra
