<para>In this module, you can change &kde; default components.</para>

<para>Components are programs that handle basic tasks, like the web browser, terminal emulator, the file manager, the email client, the electronic map, and the dialer. Different &kde; applications sometimes need to invoke a console emulator, send an email, manage files and folders, show the map or dial a number on your phone.</para> 

<para>To do so consistently, these applications always call the same components. Here you 
can select which programs these components are.</para>

<para>The list on the left shows the configurable component types:</para>
