What about the KDM KCM -to users KDM isn't part of KDE, its part of "the
system"?

Samba isn't a KDE application either but there's a KCM in systemsettings.

There's a display KCM.

You can change the date and time, very much a system setting, in KDE as well.

I think the problem is that I, and I admit I seem to be the only one, that
don't  see the main control panel as by nature DE-specific, non-application
settings including users, passwords, packages, as well as KDE settings should
be accessible from the same place. The division that at least SUSE makes with
Yast of "system settings" (which imply root) vs DE-specific settings (which are
user-specific) is very artifical to me as a user, if I was a newbie to
computers this would very very confusing.

I installed Gnome to get a sense on comparison for what a DE control panel has,
and at least in SUSE, its control center is a mix of "system" and "user"
settings. Granted, it does not have any equivalents of kinfocenter or
ksysguard, but I might not have these utilities installed. Could someone
confirm if this is just a SUSE layout please?
