  It's quite conceivable that some app will want to launch any given kcm one 
day.  It's the logical way to get the user to configure something to his 
tastes, including the panel.  We could as easily say class X in libkdecore is 
hardly used by anyone so we can break BC on it, but we don't know what will 
happen in the future or what is out there behind some corporate firewall.
