Hi all,
as promised I have put the first draft of the HIG for Settings dialogs in the 
wiki at http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Development/ActiveHIG/Settings
This is clearly RFC. Please comment away, especially regarding
- Things that you think could cause usability problems
- Things that are not technically feasible
- Things that might cause other problems in the long run
- Questions still left unanswered by these guidelines
- Things that are difficult to understand and/or ambiguous

I have taken the current Settings app and modules as a basis, but not as the 
golden example (some small things would need to be tweaked for the current 
modules to be consistent with these guidelines).

If you think it should be placed somewhere else in the wiki, just say so, this 
was just my first idea where to put it.

I hope you like this draft. ;)

A happy and productive new year to everyone, 2012 is gonna be sooo exciting 
PA-wise! :)

Thomas
