Thanks. But it didn't work. I installed kdebase, but kcontrol was
apparently not included.
I searched in Yumex for "KDE, settings" which turned up some
possibilities, one of which was kdebase-workspace. But when I tried to
install it I got a message that it was "removing for dependencies"
several things, including ktorrent. Ktorrent is what I plan to replace
Vuze with, so that won't do. Ktorrent is also one of the KDE apps with
huge fonts. Then I looked more closely and realized it was also going
to remove kdebase-workspace. Apparently it was already installed.
(There is a bug in Yumex which makes it fail to display installed apps
in a different color.)
I tried several of the other possibilities yielded by the search, but
they were either already installed, or were tools to go the other
direction, that is, to make Gnome apps work correctly in KDE.
I also tried the KDE main page, where I found a link to KDE forums.
Unfortunately the forums have the world's most useless search engine.
Google also hasn't helped.
I seem to recall once having a KDE GUI control panel, but it was a long
time ago in my Ubuntu days. I don't know where it came from, because
I have always used the Gnome desktop.
