Perhaps an equivalent of the tree (with checkboxes, radiobuttons etc) that is 
used in IE to set all those advanced options, could be usefull throughout kde 
(kcontrol especially) as well ? All those little things that users want to be 
able to configure, but can't as the developers decided it 
presented-the-user-with-another-option, could be presented to the user in 
this 'advanced' config tree. Or is making a lot of things configurable _very_ 
bad for performance ?
