Bug Description
Binary package hint: systemsettings
Steps to reproduce:
$ sudo aptitude install systemsettings
$ systemsettings
Actual results:
System settings application opens without any options.
Expected results:
System settings application opens and includes among other tools the "appearance" icon that allows me to change the kde widget theme to GTK+.
Workaround:
Execute the systemsettings once as root. I don't have a clue why this fixes the problem but the package installation scripts should take the required steps to make stuff work without this workaround:
$ gksudo systemsettings
(close the System settings application immediately)

You are lacking a cache of systemsettings views, there is a one in a billion chance that this happens, so we cant really do anything about that.
Thanks for the report anyway.
