Don't mind me, as I am just your average KDE user.

It seems to me the control center should only contain things you cannot find 
anywhere else (sound system control, global look and feel options, and the 
yet-to-be-invented network device control).

If you start ramming every-freaking app dialog in there, you might as well put 
the app in there as well. The only time I use the configuration dialog for an 
app is when I have the application open and I can see the results of me 
changing an option. Putting configuration options for each app in the control 
center is useless (well, to me at least).

I agree that I haven't more then glanced at the cdbakeoven or konqueror config 
dialogs in the control center, for reasons discussed earlier. I do however 
believe some things should be taken out of the the control center and be 
turned into stand alone apps, like the digital camera installer etc. Things 
that don't change configuration options, but instead write brand new 
configurations, should be relegated to 

kmenu->Can't think of a clever name->Wayward app

My .25 cents.
