It's not bad to have even 4 control centers, as long as they are fully interoperable - i.e all of them use the same files to keep configuration in etc. The problem is that they aren't interoperable. > > What can be do (now or in future) : > > - lets things as this, it works mostly, it's not top for usability but it's > not bad / 2 or more control centers, that's greet, the user will choose > he's prefered one in his prefered environment. > > - delete tools as kxconfig in KDEcontrolcenter-> KDE control center > configure only KDE things.

MDK has explicitly declared that drak* are GUI-agnostic and are not supposed to integrate neither into KDE Control Center nor into Gnome Control Center nor into any other environment-specific control center. IMHO, it's a very big mistake and they should integrate. > > Thanks to have read all ;) > > Florent
