The thing is, some of tweak tool's settings have a place to go, like the
date switch (System Settings > Date and Time) or the laptop lid settings
(System Settings > Power). In my opinion, the tweak tool should have
settings that doesn't exactly agree with the design, like having
nautilus handle the desktop.
