Proposition: KDE Control Centre with software and updates (package management panels)

[Daniel Ehn]

Why not split it up like this:

KHelpCenter (khelpcenter)
KSetupCenter (kcontrol)
KInfoCenter (kinfocenter, ksysguard)
KSystemCenter (kuser, kcron, kpackage, k3bsetup, ...)

Hope you see the relation between them ;) It would be easier to have a 
separate control center for system administration tasks. This way distros 
could skip KSystemCenter completely or integrate their own root-only modules 
better (not messing up KSetupCenter).
