Putting this in a right click menu is like "saying this is hidden and you
don't need it." I think the current problem with the control center is that
its dependent on the apps menu. If we are really concerned about  the
menu becoming too long, we should probably just default to showing a select 
few prefs
dialogs in the apps menu and include a link to the nautilus view of the
control center for a more complete set of pref dialogs. This has the
advantage of making the most commonly used prefs easily available (fonts,
themes) while making the more obscure ones easily findable without crowding
the menu.
