Description:
  Integrate the YaST modules in the KDE "System settings" application.
  Not only with just 1 item that launched YaST, but with 1 item for each
  YaST module being directly visible in KDE System settings - in the
  right group. YaST NTP for example in the "Networking" group, YaST Boot
  loader in "System" ...

  Voted down here for the simple reason that KDE's control panel is
  geared towards user specific or desktop environment settings. YaST's
  modules however are geared to system wide changes which have nothing
  really to do specifically with KDE and are generally not settings that
  a restricted user should see all the time. (Sysadmins for example
  wouldn't be crazy about users even being able to see partitioner or
  bootloader modules for example).

  >> KDE's control panel is geared towards user specific or desktop
  environment settings Sorry, but that is not correct. KDE system
  settings have yet many modules that need root rights. To name a few: -
  time and date - action polices - software installation with KPackageKit
  - global policy configuration - font installation which can also
  install system wide fonts - K3B permissions - the yet existing simple
  YaST link - KDM settings - ... No, KDE system settings are NOT geared
  towards desktop specific environment settings. At least not in a
  standard openSUSE installation with KDE, because all these modules are
  installed by default. And all of them are visible to all users. You can
  even see all the settings. But you need your root password to apply
  your changes.
  I think there is no problem for sysadmins. Everything that requires
  root rights will need the root password. There is no security issue.
  And the simple fact that users could "see" the settings should not be a
  problem. With the modules that are mentioned above, it is also no
  problem!
