Screenshot of SystemSettings when starting Partition Manager

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

When starting the Partition Manager from the SystemSettings interface, the window is empty, even after closing the Partition Manager. The "Overview button stays grayed out as if it were already on the main page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Open System Settings
- Choose Partition Manager and enter admin password
- close Partition Manager again
Result: System Settings window stays empty, "Overview" button is grayed out

Actual Results:  
Window is empty without any option to go back to the options

Expected Results:  
The System Settings window displays the usual options or allows to return to the previous view.

This looks like a distribution specific patch. Here, I am not able to choose Partition Manager from inside System Settings. But Volker knows better.

This has been confirmed as a distribution specific patch (to System Settings) being at fault. I've talked to the packagers in question, they've said they'll fix it.

The KControl module is no longer being built by default and should not be used.
