I agree completely, all system settings should be accessible from one place,
even though viewers should be placed in a new category.

Ideally there'd be no need for distros' control panels (I'll use SUSE's Yast as
an example): the user should be able to get to partition managment, package
management, firewall (like Fedora and SUSE), printers and scanners, sound card,
gaming devices, system file editing, NFS/Samba configuration, modems etc. all
from one place. I'm not saying distros shouldn't build the tools, or that KDE
should build them, just that there be shortcuts to them from System Settings
and from Gnome's control panel (I've never used Gnome so I can't say if this
already done). Maybe even a Time Machine-like utility if one is ever created.
KDE already has its own display manager and KGRUB accessible from
systemsettings, that's a start.
