Yes I think it would be better.
I finally managed to build Guidance and I see the modules entries in KControl 
but I cannot display them.

Running KControl from Konsole I get:

kdecore (KLibLoader): Loading the next library global with flag 257.
kdecore (KLibLoader): library=libpython2.4.so: No file named libpython2.4.so 
found in paths.

Pythonize constructor -- pid = 1363
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/kde3.5/share/apps/guidance/displayconfig.py", line 19, in ?
    from qt import *
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/qt.so: undefined symbol: 
_Py_NoneStruct
error: ***failed to import module

Not sure what is wrong.

The only conclusion I can make about Guidance:
It seems that it'll be very difficult to install Guidance outside distro 
packages. It's true that I am not experimented in Python and KDE but I am 
disapointed to see that it's so difficult to install Guidance. 

I also could not find the doc in KHelpCenter.
