configuration dialog usability question

[Benoit Walter]

There was already some discussion about it on the kde-usability mailing-list, 
so I suggest you read the archives and subscribe to that list.
It is actually a problem and I don't think we can say that the current layout 
is the best solution... I have already a few ideas about how we can improve 
it,  but the subject says it all, it is a *usability* problem, so let's 
choose the right mailing-list.
