gnomecc 1.5.x looks in the directory
$(prefix)/share/control-center/capplets and puts up an icon for each of
the .desktop files it encounters. The .desktop file contains the name of
the program to execute. For the capplets not using bonobo-conf, gnomecc
just forks off the program. For gnomecc <=1.4.x, the directory is
$(prefix)/share/control-center and the launching method is the same.
