Fantastic idea. I always wondered why there were naming discrepancies with the mdk configuration tools. And I also agree that ALL mandrake configuration tools should be in MCC. It would make it so much easier, especially since some tools are redundant within the KDE/Gnome setup tools. One central place where all the tools needed to administer your system are located is a great idea. Then no more sndconfig in a terminal etc... It is sometimes hard to recall all of the tools available within Mandrake itself and this would go a long way in solving this problem.
