Ok, got a chance to play with it.  It looked just like the settings:// 
ioslave.  Screenshots would have been fine to convey what it should do.

  As for comments on its design I would have to agree with Evan.  The user had 
to guess which folder to go into.  And of course the first wish we would 
receive would be .... "Can you have a tree view?" which would lead us back to 
what we have today with KControl and I know no one wants that.  I tried to 
separate the items out into the four groups and am trying hard for each of 
those four groups to not have more then seven items (and hopfully less).
