gnome-system-tools lets you do exactly that. The core functionality is
all in the non-GUI backend. The GUI is just a shim which talks to the
backend over DBus. So you can plug in whatever GUI you like and use the
same backend code . Feel free to write a backend for KDE / whatever other
DE you care about...
