       Sound & Video

                   Personal Information (name, address, phone number,etc)

                               Windows
                               Screensaver/Power Management (Galago 
integration?)
                               Folders and Volumes Management
                               Sessions 
                               Workspaces
         Devices->
                       Display (Screen(s) Resolution & Layout)
                       Keyboard
                       Mouse
                       Printer
                       Scanner
                       Digital Camera
                       Network Devices
                       Sound Device (Volume, speaker configuration)    
         Accessibility & Assistive Technology Support
         Language
         Preferred Applications

Actions->
   Run Application...
   Search for file...
   Open recent documents...
   Lock Screen
   Log Out

------------------------          
Computer Management ->
            Hardware configuration
            Bootloader
            Services
                    <gnome-system-tools>
                    <distribution-specific tools>
                    <other system related configuration apps>
------------------------

Misc notes:

- "Computer Management" is a category of applications aimed at power 
users and sys admins, which
means that it could be removed/hidden from some accounts if appropriate. 
Everything a normal
user should be able to configure will be available in "My Preferences"  

- "Preferences" should be move outside the "Applications" menu.

All the following app related dialogs should be relocated to the 
appropriate app.

- "CD/DVD Burning Preferences" accessible from cd-burner or from 
"Folders and Volumes Management"
- "CDDB Preferences" accessible from audio-player
- "Database Preferences" not sure if it should go in Productivity,  
"Programming" or "Computer Management"

Opinions? Comments? Rants?
