I believe with the source code available it is already customisable.  I agree
that it should be easier to customise. I don't believe regular end users should
tweak it for support reasons.

How to implement customization:
Each of these bars behaves like a toolbar.  We just need to set them up that
way, (by making make an appropriate specific to this use toolbar theme) KDE
already has a way to manipulate toolbars, and we can just use that.


I too would like a windows XP file like "classic" view of control panel items. 
I like to be able to sort by letter, and have a details view. I would also like
to have more itemized items, (no grouping of keyboard and mouse--however
shortcutkeys could refer to both)   Please note the Microsoft screwed up
Vista's control panel.

Please note that the way system settings is now is nothing like the fileview in
Konqueror.  (remember that Konqueror is a generic wrapper for kobjects) It has
buttons, and the user cannot select items. It doesn't make sense to select
items... I believe that System Settings Excels in this configuration general
layout.  It is the best start out of XP's HTML and Vista's cruddy view. System
Settings probably does not need to address this specific fileview of the
control panel.  We simply need to create a folder and create shortcuts to these
control pannel modules in them, and set the permissions appropraitely.  I
believe I'll get started on on some research  for you ;)



Also, you have a great idea that the System Settings could be configurable, I
suggest this configuration be controlled as a part of kde kiosk?) because...

It is a great pain to support a user who has moved everything to non standard
locations, and I would advise against making it too easy to edit the
systemsettings. -- really after the user set it once they shouldn't have to set
it over and overagain, so this is  a low use item.
