Description:
  It would be better and simplier for novice to have only one
  configuration panel in the system, both for KDE and general System
  Administration via YaST. Similiar work was done for gnome: now opensuse
  has an integrated all-in-one control panel there. I propose to add an
  Administration tab in systemsettings, which would provide launchers for
  YaST`s system administration tools.
  Reproducible: Always
  Steps to Reproduce: Simply open menu: you`ll find there two different
  launchers for YaST and SystemSettings. Actual Results: Now
  SystemSettings and YaST aren`t integrated.
  Expected Results: User want to do some system administration tasks,
  he/she opens SystemSettings and opens required configuration tool.
  Something similiar was in SuSE 10.0 with KDE3.4.

  I'm not sure it's the right way to follow. See this previous blog post
  from Duncan : http://duncan.mac-vicar.com/blog/archives/452

  There is also already ongoing effort on a new version of the control
  center based on System settings concept (but not to integrate with it).

  Ok, not all YaST modules - only needed by an abstract desktop user -
  Network Configuration, Date and Time, Sound, Printers etc. Server and
  advanced system administration must stay in YaST: as it has been done
  in GNOME Control Center.

+ At least some of the doubled modules can go away. From a KDE's POV I'm
+ thinking of user management, date and time, input device and also
+ printer management.
