SUMMARY
In the KDE Discuss forum a few members, me included, have indicated that, a "nice to have" would be that KInfoCenter and "kinfo" also display the installed KDE Gear version.

I would like to see this added as well

There is no concept of "the installed KDE Gear version". KDE Gear applications are independent applications whose installed versions don't have to coincide.

The applications report *their* version number, not the "KDE Gear" version number
