Bug Description
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 true and intended, I guess.
From the point of usability (and that is what Ubuntu wants to be) it is extremely complicated and against all 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 (grom a usability view):
* Application appearance
* Desktop Effects
* Workspace Appearance
* Window behaviour
* Workspace behaviour
They IMHO all can be 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 something. Theses are the little itches that make KDE so complicated - it's not usability what is in the foreground.
Other example:
* "Login Screen", Startup and Shutdown" should be together
* in "Display and Monitor": Why are "Size & orientation" and "Multiple Monitors" two sub items when both address the same theme? (could be a different bug/wish, I know)
Hi Christian!
Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https:/ /bugs.kde. org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.
Thanks!
