Three thoughts here: * Wrt Control Panels in KDE, these are KDE specific anyway, aren't they? The KDE Control Center only handles modules that implement the KCM interface, no? The question there is mostly whether KDE will continue to show regular applications that list "Settings" as a category in the KDE menu.
* Wrt Screensavers, even though KDE itself can store its screensavers under services, it could still also look under applications/ for .desktop files with a Screensaver category. In KDE3 there was kde-screensavers.menu that filtered applications with a "X-KDE-ScreenSaver" category into "System/ScreenSavers", effectively merging it with the entries under $KDEDIR/share/applnk/System/ScreenSavers/ Unfortunately that means that the Screensaver category is not universally supported on existing systems. The remaining question is whether it is sufficient to just have a .desktop file marked as being a screensaver or whether there are additional hidden assumptions made by either desktop. * Unrelated to the menu spec: There are existing third party screensavers such as Google's Picasa that use applnk/System/ScreenSavers/ to integrate with KDE. It would be unfortunate if KDE4 chose to break such applications.
