The problem newbies have is that they don't know when to use which tool. klegacyconfig actually makes it easier IMHO, since for KDE users, there is only one place to configure everthing, especially once things like ksambaplugin are installed (Gnome still needs something like gnosamba integrated into the tools). And since all the tools are under a seperate, logical place (where other "system" tools, such as the kernel configuration - if it's still there - , login manager config - if it's still of use - etc). And if system config tools should be totally seperated from desktop config tools, why are "Server Settings" and "System Settings" in "start-here:" in Gnome?? In windows (which is where we hopefully get many new users), desktop vs system settings are much more mixed up, which is why users have problems with this distinction, but I think klegacyconfig allows an easy migration, and should IMHO be installed by default on a KDE installation, and all system config tools should be available under the System entry in the tree in KDE Control Center.
