"dumping" a button in there makes it look too random and unpolished.
  
  
  Yes, input is appreciated.

  I thought so, too. Three thoughts:
  
  1. If one uses a simple readonly text box, then the current formatting could 
not be kept.
  2. One could do it like in the dolphin address bar. If the user clicks 
somewhere on the text, the view changes and the text becomes copyable. This 
option seems overly complex to implement to me but maybe the most intuitive 
option.
  3. Use a HTML view where selecting text should be possible?

when you enter "About" in KRunner then "About System" is proposed).

  Only the important parts :)

to determine if a system setting module is started stand-alone.
  
  Many users (including me and - reading his last comment - apparently Elivis, 
too :-)) are not aware of the KCM module structure. I would like to find a way 
to show the user that if a stand-alone module is open that it can be part of 
something bigger with more options and features to discover. (A similar example 
is the "System Activity" which can also be part of KSysGuard; see 
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/128854/).
