Description Zak 2013-04-24 01:46:15 UTC
Systemsettings is a very convenient way for the user to change aspects of the KDE desktop. However, the numerous categories seem to be organized around technological details and not coherent categories.

For example, Desktop Appearance, Application Appearance, Desktop Effects, and Workspace Appearance all seem to me, an end user, as related to "desktop bling," and should be part of one meta category of "Appearance." Default Applications and File Associations could probably be folded into one  "File Associations" icon. Shortcuts and Gestures could go with Keyboard under Input Devices. Input devices seems like it would include Removable Devices and Camera as well. Date & Time should be (well it should be Date *and* Time, for consistency) under Locale, to me. Account Details and Personal Info seem like they would fall under "User Information" or something similar. 

Anyway, this is more of a usability request than a bug, and really isn't that pressing.

Thanks for the read.

Reproducible: Always
