gnome-control-center 2.22 proposals

[Denis Washington <dwashington gmx net>]

Hi,

With GNOME 2.20 being in hard code freeze now, I believe it may be time
to think about what could be done for gnome-control-center 2.20. In my
opinion, we should continue the merging work started for 2.20 (in form
of the "Appearance" capplet).

To start the discussion, here is a proposal from me: the "Mouse",
"Keyboard" and "Keyboard Accesibility" capplets should be replaced by an
"Input Devices" capplet (which incorporates all features of the
mentioned dialogs except for keyboard layout management) and a new
"Localization" capplet (which, in addition to providing the keyboard
layout options, enables the user to choose it's language and locale).

I created mockups for both proposed preferences dialogs. They can be
found here:
