Kde 4.2 - Where is The Control Center?

Installed Kde 4.2. It works great, but in openSuse I had an icon called "Configure Desktop" which took me to the Kde Control Center. I can't seem to find that anywhere.

How do I open the Kde Control Center?

It's called System Settings in KMenu.

It's called System Settings in KDE4. You can press Alt+F2 and type System Settings, run systemsettings from a terminal etc.

Thanks, finally found it. Kept trying "kcontrol"; doesn't work.

Appreciate the help.

Re: Kde 4.2 - Where is The Control Center?

I was about to ask this question. How come here it's called System Settings but in the KDE4 manual it's called Control Center still? How come it doesn't look or act the same as the documentation? I was under the impression that Arch Linux is somehow missing Kontrol.

Really, whatever, right now I just want to manage my wireless networks through a KDE tray application, and I'm not liking wicd which was suggested by the wiki, isn't there some KDE applet module thing that will control wireless networks?

There is Network Manager. Check the wiki, there are several ways to control wireless.

Me; I 've given up on KDE and Gnome. I use Fluxbox full-time now.
