Consider people who don't like running file managers  (If you are one of
these
people perhaps you can confirm or deny this):

    If they don't want to use a GUI filemanager what makes you think they
    want a cute GUI to launch config tools?  They use command line or maybe

    a menu?

I don't see why we need one shell for launching config apps and another
for launching all other apps.

I would rather see some effort going into imporving Nautilus perfomance
than creating a new shell.
