  There is one strange thing regarding the behaviour - the sub-item links.
  
  The first problem is that it is not obvious what is clickable and what is not - the only hint is a slight change in the background (at least with my colour scheme) on hover.
  
  The item itself has an arrow cursor while the sub-items have the 'URL' hand, while the hover-highlight highlights the whole item in both cases.
  
  It is not obvious what will be opened when something has been clicked. Maybe a better approach would be to always open the item's KCM, but to preselect the sub-item that has been clicked on in it (instead of only showing the sub-item configuration without the ability to switch to another subitem without going back).
  
  For example, when one clicks 'Workspace Theme' item, it shows the sub-items 'Look and Feel', 'Desktop theme' ... on the left allowing the user to switch to different sub-items.
  
  When one clicks the 'Desktop theme' sub-item link, it opens only the desktop theme configuration without other 'Workspace Theme' sub-items on the left. Instead, IMO, it should open the whole 'Workspace Theme' configuration, but preselect the 'Desktop theme' sub-configuration.
  
  This way, the behaviour of both will be similar enough not to be annoying when somebody miss-clicks a sub-item.
