KGrubEditor's UI has a couple of inconsistencies when compared to other
modules in System Settings.

The first is the header which I've marked in red at the top of the
attached image. Following the convention set by the other System
Settings modules which, like KGrubEditor, have an icon list down the
left side for switching between their component KCMs, that header should
be omitted (as depicted at the bottom of the attached image). For
support of this convention see Appearance, Desktop, Notifications,
Window Behavior, and many other modules in System Settings.

Another oddity is KGrubEditor's Tools KCM, which feels like it was
thrown together at the last minute without much organizational
consideration, and certainly isn't like any other Systems Settings
module from a usability standpoint. "Tools" should be replaced in the
icon list by its current sub-categories, i.e. Backup & Install, Device
Naming, and Config Files, rather than having those sub-categories
presented through awkward popup dialogs. The wizards for "Manage
Backups" and "Install/Restore GRUB" might have to suffice as-is,
although they could possibly be reworked into a series of combo boxes
and lists, similar to the dynamic behavior of Bugzilla's advanced search
form.
