Actually, with the new bonobo-based capplets, embedding capplets in the
control center main window is fairly easy -- nearly trivial, in fact. I
don't think we will implement it, but you (Mitch) are, of course, free
to do so if you wish. The code to modify is
control-center/capplet-dir.c:capplet_control_launch () and the required
change is to put the widget created by
bonobo_widget_new_control_from_objref into a container in the main
window.
