It's starting to get confusing because KDE 3.1 (beta 2) is developing general (non-KDE-specific) control centre options; as well as Linux kernel configuration/linuxconf, already in 3.0, there is a new 3.1 control centre option to play around with the X configuration and another to install fonts. Needless to say, these overlap with Mandrake Control Centre options and, in the case of the KDE X configurator, appear to be dangerous to the configuration set up by drakconf :/ The way things are going the only solution to this confusion will be for some sort of open control centre architecture whereby a "reseller" (Mandrake, SuSE, Red Hat et alia) can plug modules of their own into the core framework and even remove KDE's/Gnome's own, replacing them with their equivalents ...
