Available modules can vary depending on distribution and chose installed 
components.
Another system level setting usually present is clock/date settings, there 
might be the module for printer configuration, etc.

The point of not having K in front of any name in this case is that while it 
is a KDE application, it is not restricted to KDE settings.
It is a uniform UI for settings the amount of which depending on which modules 
are installed on the system.

Like whatever that thing on Windows was called, though I don't know whether it 
allows integration of third party components like KDE's settings manager does.
