Hi,

I can do ui layouts for these, but cannot code the changes.

Merge it with Windows Shares.  Would also be OK to add both to Network 
Browsing.

How about "Application Parts"?  Groan.  Anyone got _anything_ better?
Seriously, though as long as we're calling things KParts, the word Parts is 
good, and implies things that can be put together...

"Appearance & Themes" -> "Appearance" if that's not already done
"Sound & Multimedia" -> "Sounds", though right now it only contains sound 
elements.  IMHO the word "multimedia" will soon sound dated as all desktop 
machines have some sort of sound capability.
"Regional and Accessibility" -> "Regional Settings"

I'm not really sure why Accessibility should be its own category.  What about 
putting the bell tab with system notifications, and the keyboard tab with 
keyboard?

How about "Protocols"?

Cheers,
