General Issues

• No support for Administrator Mode in modules #151669
• Hardcoded size and use of QScrollArea to prevent resizing on module load is worse than resizing #153283
• Hardcoded layout (100px wide items) breaks when larger fonts are used #153285
• The item model is always sorted alphabetically #153288
• No menu, not sure if this is intentional, there is some menu code in the program.
• No application icon. I have switched to "preferences-other" for now. User:Bille
• Krush bug reports
• Toolbar can be disabled and not reenabled. #151667
• Apply/Reset button order is always reversed #140145

Missing Modules

These modules are present in a default openSUSE KDE 3.5.8 but are not in KDE 4 System Settings. Their absence needs to be investigated and explained. When moving a module from Missing to the table above, please also add a component to System Settings in bugs.kde.org. You can copy the details from the corresponding kcontrol component.

There are also some new-in-KDE4 configuration modules that are not in System Settings either, add these to this list.
