Yup, those of us who have been around a bit longer know that YaST modules were 
once shown in the KDE Control Center treeview.  It should be no big thing to 
load them into systemsettings too - it uses the same KCModuleProxy class as 
kcontrol.  

But what about the non KDE/Gnome YaST users?  Do they stay with the existing 
controlcenter in this model?
