I strongly agree. I think it is a bit weird and unintuitive that some
apps have managed to infiltrate KControl. It adds to the number of
modules in KControl (which is already pretty high - cleaning up KControl
seems to be like painting the Forth Bridge). Finally, it violates the
idea that settings should be placed close to what they configure. In
fact, I think I would even remove konqueror settings from kcontrol
(except those that affect the desktop window).
