Most of it is not very much related to KControl, that's probably why I missed
mailing you; the core is libkutils, and Matthias have reviewed most of it.
kcmshell is pretty similar to before, except that it uses libkutils for the
grunt work instead of kcontrol's classes.

Hehe, that's an amusing topic. There was some insane discussions on
kde-usability, I can fetch links if of interest. I wish the KControl-search
approach, as previously proposed by the link team, all the best. It should at
least be a lot easier with the latest library changes.

Well, I understand. Ok, I did mail on kde-core-devel, several other people
knew about it, and you've not been very active, but you should have received
an explicit note nevertheless.
Cheers,
Frans
