I agree that it seems confusing to have too many ways to get to the
configuration settings.  I like the nautilus view, but just have one
concern--are we going to require you have Nautilus installed in order
to run the control center?  I love and use Nautilus, but I do know
quite a few people that use Gnome with other file managers or no file
manager at all.  I'm not even entirely opposed to requiring nautilus,
but we should probably be up-front about that.

I believe so.  Aren't those the same icons that are included with the
Ximian Setup Tools.  I believe that package contains the icons without
the Ximian logo.
