Based on a discussion [1] and survey [2] I suggest to change the following part of the guideline KDE Visual Design Group/System Settings Application [3]

* <strike>Separate simple content from advanced options, at best by using overall settings.</strike>
* If your KCM has a set of options that can be separated clearly from the rest, e.g. by the frequency of usage or simple vs. expert settings, provide an expander and show the additional options on demand. Try to make the KCM simple by default and powerful when needed.
