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.

Is keyboard layout editor KDE specific thing or not? And KDM configuration 
module?

It's the right way, IMHO.

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.
