I believe I have commented before (and if I haven't, I'm commenting now) 
that all these administration tools should be merged into a separate control 
center. A KAdmin Center to match KControl Center.

However, if they don't get their own area, they should all be in KControl.

That also might help streamline the KMenu a bit, as it does get a little 
hefty.
