Here are some ideas:
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
Preferences->
            Desktop->
                    Appearance->
                               Fonts
                               Themes
                               Background
                               Screen Resolution
                               Sound Themes?
                    Behavior->
                                Panels
                                Menus & Toolbars
                                Windows
                                Input Devices (Keyboard & Mouse
			+Accessibility)
                                File Management
                                Sessions
            Applications->
                    CD Database
                    Preferred Applications
                    File types and programs
                    <other applications related settings>
            System ->
		     Network Proxy
                     Sound Settings?
                     <gnome-system-tools>
                     <red-hat System Settings>
                     <other system related configuration apps>
                                                                                                                         
Other considerations include:
- combining Fonts and Background into the Themes Preferences dialog.
- unify Panel, Menus, Toolbars and Windows
- unify Preferred Applications and "File type and programs"
- if the idea is to eliminated sub-menu, the Appearance sub-menu could
be merge into an "Appearance Preference Windows" with a tab for each
menu entry (Fonts, Themes,etc...). The same could be done for
"Behavior". 

Feel free to comment.
