It's "Red Hat", not "RedHat" or "Redhat".

Why can't the dialogue stay in its own module? Are the necessary headers
and libraries not exported for other modules to use? Or do you expect to
ship all the preferences ever inside gnomecc?

(Note that this isn't a theoretical problem, it's one I would have for
gnome-media's gnome-volume-control, gnome-bluetooth and
gnome-user-share)

The new accounts dialogue doesn't work on non-Linux systems, and
probably does not work well on non-Fedora systems (although we're
waiting on people actually trying it there).
