Version:           1.0 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

Using Kubuntu - they told me I should report it here as it is no package specific problem,
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase-workspace/+bug/819779)

This is a wish, no bug really.

If you look at the systemsettings main page, you see plenty of different icons, divided in separated groups like "workspace appearance and behaviour", "Common appearance and behaviour" etc.

This is, from a technical POV very correct and intended, I guess.
From a point of usability (and that is what Ubuntu wants to be) it is extremely complicated and against the normal workflow.
If I want to change the "look and feel" of the desktop, I don't care if that item is part of the "common" behaviour or a "special", "workspace" behaviour.
There are different items that all address the SAME theme (from a usability view):
* Application appearance
* Desktop Effects
* Workspace Appearance
* Window behaviour
* Workspace behaviour

They IMHO all could be grouped together under ONE icon, and therefore could be found much, much easier: I use Kubuntu/KDE4 since the beginning (with occasional switches to GNOME because of these many usability issues), and still have problems finding the right module in systemsettings when I want to change e.g. the lauch cursor feedback. I still don't find it.

Other examples:
* "Login Screen", Startup and Shutdown" should be together. (Remember: technically they are different - but from a user's view they are the same: startup!)
 * in "Display and Monitor": Why are "Size & orientation" and "Multiple Monitors" two sub items when both address the same theme? Look at how GNOME does this: you can set the monitors by drag and drop in the right position, no need to have a combo "right of $systemname-of-display" or "left of $systemname-of-display"

Try to keep it simple.

Reproducible: Always
