Hello gentlemen,
	I'm one of the folks from the usability list.  The subject of KPersonalizer 
came up, and I thought I'd see you if you (and/or any other KPersonalizer 
devs) were interested in joining this conversation.
	As a preface to other thoughts, I believe (as I hope others do) that 
Kpersonalizer is a very useful addition to KDE for a variety of reasons.  The 
ideas below are to try to polish a few things for greater clarity, and to see 
you think it's worth trying to talk to the distros about their 
personalization processes.

Cheers,

Eric

It does need some work on wording of the buttons.  Last I check it was
"Quit and Keep", "Quit and Revert", and "Cancel".
I'm never really sure which leaves my settings alone.

True.  However, almost every time I upgrade KDE, I have the problem that it
keeps poppingup on subsequent logins, and have to write some setting into
.kpersonalizerrc, after dredging around the web for a way to do it.  I'm
guessing this is because I use a $KDEHOME that kpersonalizer doesn't account
for.  It's rather annoying for it to pop up every time, and is probably worth
making sure that that doesn't happen...  Also, the distros do a lot of this
personalizing stuff type stuff.  Might be nice to talk to them about what
they'd want to put in it.

Cheers,

Eric
