Hmm, what about an additional UI? As far as I know there is no enforces one-to-one mapping of KCM and service/config file, basically any KCM can change any config. If we had an alternative KCM that exposes more features of the underlying config then OSVs and/or sysadmins could decide which one (or both) would show up in systemsettings depending on their users' needs. It also makes it great for user support when one can have a kcmshell4 something command which will open advanced settings for people who need it without having to fall back to giving instructions how to manually edit a file. Eventually the simple KCM could even gain a button or similar to show the advanced UI on demand.
