even when there are 20+ capplets on the menu? Of course, for a short
menu, it looks much better all on a single menu, but when there are many
capplets, it looks horrible. And while we can reduce the number of
capplets in control-center, there will always be 3rd parties adding
their own.

yes, gnome-about needs a revamp to make it more useful. Maybe providing
support for selecting accounts (mail, calendars, IRC/IM), Online
desktop, etc. Quim gave a good talk about this in GUADEC 2006:
