Well, first a screenshot of lycoris - just for inspiration:

There was much kudos sent to lycoris for their control center. I don't th=
ink=20
it's brilliant but a good step in the right direction.

The problem with kcontrol: its too big. IMHO I would suggest to break KCo=
ntrol=20
in smaller parts: e.g. make one KControl with all the look&feel kcms, one=
=20
KControl with all the system kcms. Let me explain:

First the user presses K then Control Center. Now instead of Kcontrol,=20
konqueror should be started with a html page. On this web page there are=20
links like 'Change behavior and appearance'. If the user press this link,=
=20
kcontrol starts with only the look&feel kcms.

The advantage is that it wouldn't require a lot of coding, just a good ar=
tist=20
for the html page.

Some more screenshots:

and my personal favorite:

I think the last screenshot comes cloes to such a html page.
