My point in
saying all this is not that these things
shouldn't be added to kcontrol,
it's
that they can't be said to be
"missing" from 3.5.13
because they weren't actually part
of 3.5.10 in the first place (and that we have to
be
careful, in the first two cases, that
> we don't accidentally duplicate something).
Slackware is well known for modifying upstream sources as little as possible. With respect
to KDE3, Slackware provided those packages as provided from the upstream KDE
repositories.
With that said, the Samba options discussed are part of the Slackware 3.5.10. Therefore I
presume those options were part of the upstream KDE repository. If those options are not
available in a particular distro's 3.5.10, then I presume the options were stripped
from the upstream KDE sources.
The Desktop Text options never were part of Slackware's 3.5.10. Likewise with the
Multimedia/Music Manager. Therefore I presume they were added by various distro
maintainers and were not part of the original KDE sources. I would like to see these
latter two options added to Trinity's kcontrol.
