Preferences Menu command Line

Hi,

I would like to know how to launch KDE Preferences Menu (the one which allow you to launch the Control Center and by the same way the Appearance & Themes, Desktop, Internet & Network, KDE Components ... menus on the same Kicker special button) with a command line.

[code:1]dcop kicker kicker popupKMenu[/code:1] or [code:1]dcop kicker kicker showKMenu[/code:1] do the trick for launching KMenu.

I know that [code:1]kcontrol[/code:1] launches the control center menu, but that's not what i want.

Can anyone help me for launching KDE preferences menu on the command line ?

Thx

This should work if you have the extension button in kicker:
[code:1]
dcop kicker "$(dcop kicker qt objects | grep PrefMenu | head -n 1)" show
[/code:1]
