Yeah we had to shoehorn that in.  Other things to consider:

 * Why are the actions on the themes and background tabs are different?
 * Are backgrounds actually less important than widget themes?
 * Should screensavers be here?
 * What is our story for the "make default" stuff?
 * Can we redesign the font page to be more interesting?  See
http://live.gnome.org/Design/DesktopFontPreferences
 * Should we have a way to customize background slideshows?
 * Do we need libunique?
 * How does this relate to a larger scale control-center design?
