Kinfocenter should be separated from the actual kcontrol IMHO, it's a 
simple system information panel that doesn't give access to any 
modification, it simply lists system status

I agree, by now there is not a real distinction between server and 
desktop controls, for example I have a desktop but I want to add another 
user(my girlfriend for example) this task should go into kadmin, but 
it's still related to the desktop.
My thumb up for Kadmin, but it should be integrated into kcontrol(maybe 
it could be made accessed stand alone by a menu entry like server 
administration or something like that)
