Heh, clever!

However if System Settings is already open and you use KRunner to open a KCM, it switches focus to that existing System Settings window but doesn't show you the thing that you just opened.

Looks like this also needs to invoke kinfocenter mode when needed. If I search for "energy" from KRunner now, it opens Systemsettings with the home page visible, not the Energy Consumption Statistics KCM.

We need a fix for https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=421431

Which could just be me removing making it hidden.
