Re: The Problem with KDE distribuition !

YES!

This is needed - like the Ximian setup tools for Gnome, KDE needs some standard configuration tools. I think it's a bit stupid that every distribution makes their own tools.

It would be much easier for the users if the same configurations tools were available no matter what distribution you use or if you change to another distribution.

Blah.

Configuration tools should not be desktop-specific.

Further, configuration tools should not require a graphical environment. What can a config tool need that can not be done in a slang app?

I can´t think of anything, and I would much prefer such tool to work over ssh from a windows box without a X server, really.

look at sysconfig module in kde cvs.
It is a kde front end to ximian
setup tools.

These setup tools look like they
might end up pretty universal -
eg kde, gnome, web and terminal
interface to them are easily possible.
Also they sould be presented as
a corba object or a web service with soap.
(making sure of security, of course).
