Re: Control Center Behavior

This seems to make more sense to me than the previous method - before
this patch, the preferences: URI display made everything look like a
launcher icon - there was no way to tell what was a launcher and what
was a sub-folder.

However, perhaps the icons for the folders could have an emblem attached
to them corresponding to their contents?  ie: the Accessability
preferences folder could have the Accessability icon attached to it as
an emblem - this would give better visual distinction between the
folders.  Would this be better or just crackrock?
