Currently KDE System Settings are not displayed outside Plasma Desktop. But we 
have request (on this list) to show it there because otherwise users can not 
change settings for KDE Applications they are using (like sounds etc.). The 
request also states it should be called "KDE System Settings" but we are unable 
to add KDE prefix as it would break translations. As upstream wants wider 
adoption of KDE Applications outside Plasma Desktop (that's one of the reason 
why they rebranded desktop from KDE to Plasma, to show people they can use KDE 
Applications without Plasma as desktop environment), I think there should be way 
how to confugure from for example Gnome and same would be great for Gnome 
Applications to be configurable from other environments. Plasma, Shell whatever 
are just the face, what does matter are applications.

So for now, we stay with current status quo.
