KDE is also infamous for pretending it's a management system for your whole computer instead of being a mere windowing environment. Last I saw it still had broken stubs in the control panel for configuring your linux 2.4 kernel for you.

NAME
gnome-control-center - Configure GNOME settings SYNOPSIS
gnome-control-center [OPTION...] [PANEL] [ARG...] DESCRIPTION
gnome-control-center is a graphical user interface to configure various aspects of GNOME. When run without arguments, the shell displays the overview, which shows all available configuration panels. The overview allows to open individual panels by clicking on them. It also has a search entry to find panels by searching keywords. It is also possible to specify a panel name as commandline argument to go directly to that panel. Individual panels may accept further arguments to specify which tab to open (for multi-tabbed panels) or which item to display (for panels with lists). Note that gnome-control-center is not meant to expose each and every setting that is available. The settings that can be found here represent what is considered useful and commonly needed options. For more exotic or uncommon options, you can look at gnome-tweak-tool or the gsettings commandline utility. PANELS
The following panel names can be specified: background The background panel lets you set your desktop background. bluetooth The bluetooth panel lets you configure your computer's Bluetooth adapter, and pair the computer with Bluetooth keyboards, phones, etc. color The color panel can calibrate monitors, web cams and printers for accurate color reproduction. datetime The datetime panel lets you set the timezone and time format. Some operations in this panel affect all user accounts on the computer and require privieges. display The display panel configures the resolution and arrangement of monitors and laptop panels. Note that monitors can be rearranged by drag-and-drop, and you can change which monitor is your main display by dragging the black bar. info The info panel shows a general overview of the system configuration.

The last three parameters require an additional extra argument for the network object in the form /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/0. notifications The notifications panel provides a way to control the display of notifications. online-accounts The online-accounts panel shows your configured online accounts and lets you add or remove accounts. power The power panel shows the fill level of batteries and can configure what happens when the computer is idle or runs out of battery. printers The printers panel shows all known printers and their status.
