Reviewing my current Trinity 3.5.12 desktop at work, I have found a number of additional useful kcontrol applets that are not in the current 3.5.13. I'm not saying they are needed, but for discussion, here they are. Basically a diff of the entries is:
(in 3.5.12 Archlinux - Albert Vaca build)
Appearance & Themes KSM Theme Manager
Internet & Network Local Network Chat Network Interfaces Protocols Samba Wireless Network Zeroconf Service Discovery
Peripherals CD-ROM Information Devices DMA-Channels ICC Color Profile Interrupts IO-Ports Partitions PCI Processors SCSI Sound USB Devices X-Server
Power Control Laptop Battery
Many of these hold very useful information from /proc and /etc in a tabular layout (eg: Peripherals/Partitions). I don't know if these are/were standard of some distro specific addons, but they were most likely not arch additions. I have updated the side-by-side comparison to include this layout. The side-by-side now has kcontrol layouts for:
I don't know how your packages were built. All but the theme manager are standard in 3.5.13 and GIT, at least with my Slackware builds. I'm not patching anything to obtain those modules.
