Which do you have in mind?

Again: Which device viewer?

Reason why I'm asking is because I don't want to jump though hoops to 
accommodate for theoretical cases. If it ever turns out to be a problem, we 
can look at systemsettings' solution and implement that. Fact is that these 
are generic tools, so they can't get a very specialized name (just look at the 
variety of modules in kinfocenter, it very much resembles a dumping ground and 
playground for "hey I can write code that outputs something about the system, 
let's create a UI for it so KDE 2 gains another feature!", roughly coincides 
with the copyrights in most of the files).

The argument for a possibly existing application with the same name can be 
applied to everything of course.

Also: has nothing to do with my question, we have reviewed it in the Plasma 
team and found this a good solution. If you disagree, let's discuss this in a 
separate thread.

Cheers,
