ccing usability becuase this is a usability bug that not only
effects the system tools, but also just needs attention in general.

I'm not sure that I explained it very well, but the bug is here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92719

Right now on non-redhat systems AFAICT, "System Tools" is showing up
like this:

Applications
  -> Desktop Preferences
		-> System Tools

But what we really need is this:

Applications
Settings
	-> Desktop Preferences
	-> System Tools
	-> Server Settings

Or even better, as Seth describes in the bug

Applications
Settings
   |-> Desktop->
   |-> Hardware->
   |-> Network-> (or "Internet")
   |-> Servers->
   |------------
   |-> Background
   |-> Font
   |-> Sound
   \-> Theme
