Description Rainer Finke 2019-10-15 16:02:43 UTC
If you click in kinfocenter on Device Information, Network Information or Graphical Information then nothing is happening, seems like these are just empty groups.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open kinfocenter
2. Click on Device Information

OBSERVED RESULT: Nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT: Something should happen, like expand group and show in the main page maybe some aggregated important information from the sub groups

This should probably use a flat list rather than a tree view, with the current top-level tree view categories being converted into headers. Basically it should look more like System Settings' sidebar.

Pushed by mart into branch 'master'.

Introduce an Info Center mode

Summary:
withthe command line switch -i, start
systemsettings loading the KInfoCenter modules and hyerarchy instead.
* KAboutData and dbus service name will be the same of KInfoCenter
* The startup page is not shown but the "System Information" kcm is loaded instead
* KACtivityStats is disabled
* The home button will load the "System Information" kcm as well
* It will *always* be in sidebar mode regardless how systemsettings is configured
* Config dialog can't be open.

Test Plan:
* SystemSettings mode functionality didn't change
* infocenter mode is fully functional
