As the maintainer for KXConfig, I see no issue from me about the change.
However, I think that Cornelius may have a point. At the moment, folks don't
know about the nifty apps in kdenonbeta. Maybe a set of pages like
kdeextragear stating what's in the various playgrounds and reviews (with
ample warnings that these may be in various states of development) and their
purpose would be a good idea? As for KXConfig, I think that once I get it
ported to use either Xorg or XFree86, I'd like to get it moved to one of the
reviews.
