Kubuntu KControl fix
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This script is fixing the desktop file for starting
the system settings application. By default Kubuntu
uses a selfmade version of KControl, the script
changes one file (actually one line in the file),
so that the real KControl gets started.
Thanks to anmaster for introducing me sed, the script
should now working on every Kubuntu version.
HOWTO USE
========
in Konsole:
su root
chmod +x fix.sh
sh fix.sh
exit
exit

I personally like systemsettings (Kcontrol is in desperate need of overhaul anyway) so I guess I'd not want this script eh? ;-)

but well, systemsettings isn't bad but it's taking somehow the biggest advantage KDE got for "advanced" users -> the advanced configuration interfaces
to all who like to use systemsettings: DON'T USE THIS SCRIPT ... I'll not make a "revert changes" script :P

Example ():
sed 's/^Exec=.*/Exec=kcontrol/' -i /path/to/file
Replace '.*' with the original value. '.*' will match anything.
The -i option means: Do the change in place.
