I tend to agree that it is hard to know what's going to be in 'settings', 'system' and so on but one can tidy that up oneself. I don't recall kde4 and whether it handles this any better. on these scores, tidying up the arrangement and introducing a search bar, it hardly seems worth the heat of controversy evidenced here but I must be missing something.
