Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace

The "advanced" tab of systemsettings includes a "system" section, which includes important config tools like "printer configuration", "network management" or "power management"
These tools would be more discoverable in the "computer administration" section or in the "network and connectivity" one of the "general" tab .
Currently these tools are not discoverable at all.
For example the user won't find a way to configure his network(s) under the"Network and Connectivity" section, although it seems to be the place where it should be.
He has to guess that this is available under the "Advanced" tab of systemsettings

This bug was fixed in the package kdeadmin - 4:4.2.1-0ubuntu3

---------------
kdeadmin (4:4.2.1-0ubuntu3) jaunty; urgency=low

  * Remove knetworkconf packaging, too buggy:
    - Comment out in debian/control
    - Move .install file entries to not-installed
    - Remove kubuntu_03_fix_knetworkconf_scriptsdir.diff
  * Edit kubuntu_02_system_config_printer.diff to place the KCM in the general
    section instead of Advanced (LP: #331790)

It is in the correct place in 4.3.1. If this is still an issue I urge you to reopen this report for 'system-config-printer-kde' by setting it to either incomplete or new. Thank you!
