I think the idea of a New Control Center is an absolute must!

I'm not even kidding either, one of the Negatives I've always had against
KDE was the hard to navigate and scattered controls. No I'm not par say
anything more than a simple user, but what better reason to have me around
than to give my oppinion?

I've tested probably around 20 Distribution Flavors (not including
versions), and some BSD's, so far the only one to even get close to making a
usable control panel is Kubuntu

Aside from this I feel the menus are Overbloated in so many distributions,
It might be a good idea to have "Internet", "Office", "Multimedia"...etc
under a little menu called "Applications"

PC-BSD Has a wonderful example I feel KDE could learn from

Everyone constantly argues that "Linux is about choice", and that's right,
but isn't there a point when you overdo that choice? Overdo it to the point
where you take something so beautiful with potential like KDE and just hold
it down with the 10 text editors that come with it, and three different
office suits. When is enough enough? And how long will the uses have to
suffer for having choice rather than having something that works seemlessly,
and lets you focus on your work rather than the computer (OS X Anyone?)

Anyways, I feel that control panel screeshot was incredibly awsome and
attractive. I would love to see it done, it's too bad that linux development
is more scattered than centralized.

One last thing, if you decide to critisize my message, please take the whole
into consideration,
