Hrmph.  Maybe I'm just too comfortable with the old KControl interface, but I 
disliked system settings enough that I uninstalled it from my kubuntu 
installation and am still using the old interface, despite the fact that 
kubuntu doesn't install an icon for it anywhere.

Will the old interface for KControl be maintained (I don't care if it's the 
default or not) or should I just "get with the times" and start using system 
settings?

Just one user,
