--- Comment #2 from Harald Sitter <sit...@kde.org> ---
I wonder, I wonder... maybe we should just dump the dmidecode output in a text
KCM. It'd be fairly cheap to do and maintain that way.

The other option would be to feed selective data into the about system kcm. BUT
that is probably fairly costly from a code POV since we need a whole bunch of
heuristics to determine if a given field is indeed useful (e.g. on any device
that isn't from one of the big computer OEMs any number of the fields may not
be filled which usually means they are filled with placeholder garbage that we
need to manually filter out). Smaller ODMs in particular also fail to fill
fields properly at times.

e.g. my system is custom built so I have

System Information
        Manufacturer: System manufacturer
        Product Name: System Product Name
        Version: System Version
        Serial Number: System Serial Number
        Wake-up Type: Power Switch
        SKU Number: SKU
        Family: To be filled by O.E.M.
