Hi, I would like to propose that we include Ark's Mission Control in Trinity. It pulls together some of the modules in KControl in a reorganized way. The idea behind it is to have the things users use the most pulled together in an easy-to-find way. It was written (obviously) for KDE3, so it will need rewriting by a programmer for TQt by someone more experienced at programming than me.
I have been slowly preparing my system to build Trinity. Once I get more organized, I will be able to upload the source tarballs to Mission Control on my personal space on arklinux.org, along with Ark's related patches and spec files from the RPMs that will detail where we apply those patches (these patches will likely need updating for the TQt version). It will probably be a few days, have not had as much time as I would like at the computer (weird work schedule and an upcoming date with the pure hearted girl I've known for years <3 :-D), though I should (at least) have it ready to upload by next week if you guys are interested.
Currently I don't have a machine old enough to run our latest release (2008.1) (a bit ironic that the poor fat geeky computer nerd would want to "downgrade" his hardware to use the older hardware heh), but perhaps someone using 2008.1 could take some screenshots? If I'm not mistaken, our illustriously organized Borg with the Kmenus still uses it, not sure if she still has the Mission Control capable KDE installed?

Well, something like this isn't a bad idea, but like the kmenu, it needs to be update. The principle is sound however. One central location for common, immediate needs, such as internet connection, look and feel, hardware settings, printers, scanners (?), etc. A great deal of thought has to be put in to it. There's plenty of time for that later, after Trinity is stabilized and major porting is completed. There's no sense in putting the cart before the horse.
As for nothing old enough to run AL 2008.1. I currently have it running on an i7 based, very complex machine, as well as several other very complicated current tech machines. Wireless is the only place I've encountered problems. Come to one of the channels and tell me what problems you're encountering (the mailinglist isn't the place for such a discussion), I'd be glad to help.

I enjoy this idea very much, but I think what would be better is if we can wield this into the System Settings of Trinity, instead of keeping and maintaining it separately.
And Kate has a good point. Trinity is in heavy development as we prepare to make the development jump. But we can put that on a to-do list, definitely.

Not VirtualBox compatible?

It is, just don't feel like downloading/installing VBox, then installing Ark, then taking the screenshots, then editing out the borders around my VBox screen (I can do full screen, but Ark doesn't go above 1024x768 because we've not had time or man power to do anything else about compatibility of older/weird monitors).
