I don't want to go into details because it's not a current topic (I also don't 
have cvs access - so you don't have to be scared kcm moduls will just 
disappear ;-)  ).
Let's look at (the not yet finished) kpersonalizer: There is a "feel" 
manager/wizard, a speed manager/wizard and a "look" manager/wizard. One can 
configure the desktop very easy and with very few mouse clicks.These manager 
are good  for the majority but are not flexible enough for everyone. If one 
compares kcontrol look & feel  with kpersonalizer, the section looks 
cluttert, messy and difficult. I would suggest to put only 3-6 managers/ 
wizards in the look & feel section. These wizards are supposed to be task 
oriented and guess what the user wants. Then provide additonal methods to 
further customize the desktop e.g. advance settings buttons, customize tabs, 
or simply move all the current kcm moduls in a look&feel->advanced settings 
subtree. Again, not a current topic. 

Greetings

Christoph
