they may be actual kcms, with something that can be queried that says "it's 
about configuring an activity"

then from the activity manager when pressing config a window may come up that 
loads all kcms with that keyword.

so things like power management, screen locker etc would come up.
maybe even the same used in systemsettings (that would have only global stuff) 
but with the activity id set somewhere in the code, so they would know that 
they have to save the settings only in the context of a particular activity 

this way shows a consistent ui, *and* doesn't overload systemsettings with 
many "configure per activity" pages
