I should clarify that I understand that the background setting is currently in the System Settings.  Sorry for the double response.

But I think that the status quo will lead to more clutter, which the removal of was part of the goal in Gnome 3.  If an extension is doing something that is system wide, which I believe that setting the background or the theme is, then it should be the system settings.  I am sure that there are other extensions that should not be putting their settings in the system settings, but then maybe we should provide them with an appropriate space to put these, the overview does not seem the correct place.

The fact that extension authors are itching to dump their preferences
into the control center is actually a good argument for keeping that
door locked.
