No.  I'm not sure if the "something" you're referring to is kgamma or 
krandr, but either way, that's not it.  kgamma is a totally separate app, 
to help adjust display brightness/gamma/etc settings, and krandr is the 
old pre-kscreen version.

What I was saying is that I'm missing whatever it is too, since the only 
tab I have in the display kcm (which is an aggregator of multiple 
otherwise individual display-related kcms) is the totally unrelated 
kgamma.  I have kscreen and libkscreen installed, and the kcm_kscreen kcm 
is present and usable, but it doesn't integrate into the display kcm.

So I don't have what's in your screenshot either.  Whatever he's missing 
I'm missing too, which being we're both on gentoo isn't too surprising, 
but I haven't a clue what it might be.  Mine isn't totally empty as I do 
have kgamma installed and it puts a tab there, but that's entirely 
unrelated and the kgamma tab is totally different.

So I'd be equally interested in what's missing.  I can guess it's a 
*.desktop file, and /possibly/ a *.so library, but I don't know where to 
go to get 'em either.
