A bit of background is available here in the Wiki. This guide shows how to get Kgamma back.


1: So, where exactly is Kgamma usually at?  

In the screenshot below the KDE Control Center is opened up to Peripherals.

2: Under the Display section we find we have tabs for Size and Power Control.

The Gamma and Color Control Tab, however, are missing.
