Yep, something else I'd like to take a look at when I (hopefully) get
some time to work on the HIG again in a week or two :/

Cheeri,

This would be great and is what I was getting at in my original post when I said:

JR: "Control Center Applet UI: Would be great once we have broad agreement on Categories to come up with a consistent UI to present this info to the user. So going to set one thing doesn't look dramatically different to any other Control Center applet. Should be possible for property based stuff as least ..."

And yep they should only be guidelines as opposed to any new API as
Rodney: "Presenting some pieces of data is going to be vastly different than presenting other pieces of data. For example, I imagine that presentation of settings for hardware is going to be quite different than presentation of choice for appearance related settings. This will largely be solved by the consolidation of capplets itself ... "

I assume live.gnome.org/PreferencesRevisited is the right place to put up suggestions on what this consolidation of capplets might be?
