I am working on thememanager kcms. a look-manager kcm that encompass 
widget-style, kwin-style, desktop-background, kicker-background, colors, 
icon-theme, and maby more.( I am not shure if the word look-manager makes any 
sense. Should I call it look-wizard?)

a feel-manager kcm that encomass, panel layout(kudos to Carsten Wolff), keys, 
window behavior, mouse behavior and some more.

also a speed-manager kcm that customizes the speed of the desktop. It 
encompasses menu fadings, anti aliased fonts, and many more. It detects 
hardware like cpu speed and render support.
I am also planning some more task oriented managers. All managers will be 
extreamly easy to use, because they will only consist of one main widget 
(e.g. a slider or a list box)
 
I would like to putt the more easy, task oriented managers in the look & feel 
tree and bury the feature oriented kc modules in a 'look & feel'->'advanced 
settings' subtree.

Maby we can adjust our work a bit to avoid dublicated code. 

BTW: I am not aware of the kcontrol cvs changes, because my SuSE8 make drops 
out before it compiles kcontrol. I haven't found the problem yet. 

Greetings

Christoph
