In that case KMyMoney has to depend on systemsettings and has to become a workspace 
application which I think the workspace coordinators will rightfully refuse. If this is a must have 
configuration for KMyMoney it has to add the KCM to its own configuration options. In 
comparison you are also able to configure Phonon from within Amarok.

If you think that systemsettings is a required runtime dependency for other applications, then 
systemmsettings should move from kde-workspace to kde-runtime.
