Muon in System Settings

[jeremy1701]

In previous releases of Kubuntu, the Add/Remove Software/Package Manager (Muon) was part of Systems Settings. In the latest release, Muon is a seperate item that it not accessible in the System Settings. A minor issue, agreed. But I liked having all of my settings in one spot. Now I have two menu items, one for System Settings and one for Muon and I think it looks cluttered.

Is there anyway to add back in Package Manager to System Settings?

Description-en: KDE package management tool using PackageKit
PackageKit allows performing simple software management tasks over a DBus
interface e.g. refreshing the cache, updating, installing and removing
software packages or searching for multimedia codecs and file handlers.

This package provides a KDE package manager based on PackageKit,
as well as package management support for the KDE desktop.
It implements the PackageKit session API for KDE, which allows
applications to easily install additional software (e.g. extensions),
uninstall files and perform simple software status queries.

Generic - KDE System Settings

The KDE System Settings eats desktop files and outputs...

Making: muon-system-settings.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Muon in System Settings

Comment=Kubuntu package manager

Exec=muon
Icon=muon
Type=Service
Encoding=UTF-8

X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true
X-KDE-ServiceTypes=KCModule
X-KDE-ParentApp=kcontrol
X-KDE-Keywords=package, manager, muon
X-KDE-System-Settings-Parent-Category=system-administration
X-KDE-Weight=60

Categories=Qt;KDE;System;

GenericName=Muon Package Manager

and dropping it to the /usr/share/kde4/services/

then the Muon package manager is in the KDE System Settings.

Apper did the trick! Thanks. I'll keep this for the later info as well. Excellent information!
