Centralized desktop/screen preference

[Age Bosma <agebosma home nl>]

Hi,

I've been playing with GNOME for a while and it struck me that there's 
no central place to handle desktop/screen perferences to change e.g. the 
background, screen saver, screen resolution, etc. Is there a specific 
reason for this?
Unlike Windows, GNOME provides only an option to change the background 
when you right-click the desktop. Why not create a Windows style 
properties dialog to allow users to change all the desktop/screen 
perferences in a centralized location? This would also clean up the 
"System - Preferences" menu a bit since all the desktop/screen 
perferences are listed separately now.
