+KControl is organized by "subject" instead of "category".
+
+The idea is that if the user wants to configure something, they should only
+have to search for its location in the desktop. Previously, they had to
+look for the category of the setting. It should be apparent that this
+isn't very efficient, as the category might be difficult to identify
+frequently.
+
+Also, we need to consider that each applet in kcontrol is very busy with
+many tabs, and many groups in each tab: this means that our users (and
+ourselves!) have to hunt around in several modules until the right
+module is found -- and this is in no way easy, seeing that you have to
+look at all the tabs.
+
+So, this new organization tries to limit the amount of tabs per module,
+and in addition, groups the module by application, rather than topic.
+
+And as an added bonus, it eliminates the Look & Feel group.
