           Summary: remove decorative info panes
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 4.1
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bluedzins at wp.pl


Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

remove decorative info panes

The reasons:
a) they are not informative at all
b) they don't help in anything
c) they are purely decorative element
d) they are redundant element (of titlebar)
e) they take space

ad.e) it is a major drawback for the netbooks users (screen height 600 pixels!)
and yet the space is taken by this decoration (it is always visible) instead of
actual content

Take a little tour for yourself (in quotes, info panes titles):
keyboard & mouse: mouse --> "mouse settings" 
keyboard & mouse: keyboard --> "keyboard settings"
dektop: desktop effects --> "configure desktop effects"

It is just duplicating titles (we are in the system settings, and it is for
configuring, and the module has already label and big icon), besides there is
already place for that kind of labeling -- it is titlebar. Please use it, and
remove this redundant widget. All netbooks users (and not only) will be
grateful, thank you.
