When I made the report that led to this change, I couldn't imagine that showing these modules as individual applications is the intended behaviour. The modules are collected from .desktop files in $KDEDIR/share/applications/kde. Looking at this directory, I can find a lot of other .desktop files which are not shown either. E.g. xserver.desktop has: X-KDE-Library=info X-KDE-FactoryName=xserver X-KDE-ParentApp=kinfocenter Categories=Qt;KDE;X-KDE-information; This was shown in the menu. And now, e.g. language.desktop has: X-KDE-Library=locale X-KDE-FactoryName=locale X-KDE-ParentApp=kcontrol Categories=Qt;KDE;X-KDE-settings-accessibility; It sounded illogical to me that the former is shown as an individual item, but the latter is not. Both are modules that are usually accessed through a ParentApp, kinfocenter in the first case and kcontrol in the latter case. I was convinced that showing kinfocenter modules as applications while not showing kcontrol modules as applications is just an oversight, and I still think that this change is not the worst idea until someone clearly states that these modules are intended to be considered as applications on their own.
