Why not put it  in a tree like it is done in Kate? I normally don't like trees 
but in this case when the tree is collapsed i think it's better than the 
current situation. You get a better overview of the available options.

The stylesheets and fonts of the web browser could be merged to Appearance. 
This makes it more consistent with the file manager.

Maybe a suggestion to make an annoyances (Annoyance Eliminator) preference for 
things like popup blocking/flashing banners and friends instead of putting it 
in Java & Javascript. I think more people are familiar with the annoyances 
than the javascript that is causing them. I would also put Java in Plugins 
(or Scripts & Plugins) as java is just a plugin like everybody else.

Cheers,
Vincent
