How about getting rid of those pages altogether.
It's long been said that there are too many settings and they're
poorly organised.

I perceive settings as either;

- a few 'user settings', which a user may want to modify whilst using
the frontend. These should be moved to menus/screens to be more
accessible.

- mostly 'configuration settings', which the admin sets once and
then rarely revisits. These should move to a service/browser-based
solution, which would be easier to navigate and maintain. They would
fit happily alongside the mythtv-setup replacement in a one-stop
configuration page.
