While I agree that the left column is somehow a waste of space when a single
control module is invoked, I do not see
what is the problem with the height of the window. Even in the screenshots you posted, the
Fonts module is displayed
in full while the xserver is somehow using half the height it requires and adds a
scrollbar inside to be able to see
all the contents. Personally I prefer to have a bigger window (if it fits the screen)
displaying all the contents at
once instead of having a smaller one but having to scroll to look for information.
Having said that, I am aware that a (very) few windows have so many things in it that
displaying the full contents on
a 1368x768 (or 1024x768) monitor is not possible.
Regarding the left column, could you file an enhancement request on the bugszilla to
"hide the left column" when only
one control module is displayed? So we don't forget about it.
Cheers
Michele

Not sure I understand the question exactly, but
if you are wondering about the possibility to bring up a single
control module from CLI, in R14 you need to use tdecmshell not kcmshell.
You understood enough! I never could find *"infocenter", so there was no way to
search PS output to see a relevant
name. Thanks for that! :-)
The result is a double-edged surprise. The minimum window widths are nominally narrower,
but the minimum heights
are taller, and they are cluttered by a needless left column that significantly counters
the point of having the
individual applets. The old (quoted) and the new (below) have much too much minimum
whitespace:

The excess approaches sensible as display density increases:
