Yes, because we all know that regular users would understand these symbols In the normal file views, folders looks like, well, folders. And everything else looks different. I don't really think the solution is to use konqueror as the new control center, but to tweak the control center to offer an icon view to display the groups, and then tweak the modules to not have sub modules. This way you have ONE screen of groups, and under each one of those you have individual control centers. I generally think, that in many situations it is not in the users interest to solve a problem by simply opening an ioslave in konqueror, when a simple wrapper program would do. I think konqueror provices a lot of power to web surfing and file management, and i would like to see it stick to those. Not that i want to prevent people from using the settings:/ url from konqueror if they want to, i just think that a settings ioslave is only half completed if it is only available by use in konqueror. Other benefits would be that there still would be only one program the user would need to goto, and the modules would not need to be changed to handle the admin modes differently.
