Slackware is well known for modifying upstream sources as little as possible. With

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 patches applied by Gentoo to the stock 3.5.10 are in plain view (
kdebase-3.5-patchset-13.tar.bz2
should still be retrievable from the file repositories); none of the four kcontrol patches
appears to
strip a panel. I am now 99% certain that this panel is supplied by smb4k, rather than
kcontrol itself.
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
