3.2 has been feature-frozen for some time, you mean 3.3.

Open Control Center. Click on the "View" menu, then "Mode", then "Icon View." 
Perhaps this could be the new default.

I personally like KControl a lot.  Maybe the tree is a little much for some 
people, but using "icon view" as suggested above makes it much less 
intimidating.  I also like KControl's way of accessing everything from a 
single window, with the navigation panel always visible, rather having new 
windows pop up in front of it.  Also, since there is only one window, you 
don't have to worry about you leaving things open (and thus forgetting to 
apply changes).

Actually KControl could be redone in Konqueror anyway, putting a special 
"settings" side pane, and the kcm kpart in a view profile, but I don't know 
if people would want all the bloat of a Web browser in their Control Center.
