The reason being that the kcontrol module is now just a front-end for the 
"fonts:/" io-slave. i.e. Typing (as non-root) "fonts:/Personal" will list 
your user fonts, and "fonts:/System" will show the system-wide fonts.

While I can see your point about adjusting the settings via a GUI - its not 
the usual case. On most systems gs is installed in the same location.

The above would be a "wishlist" item - and you should create a new error about 
this. Using bugs.kde.org you should be able to close this one.
