(moblin + maemo == meego, so you've really only got one example there) FWIW, the netbook spin of MeeGo uses gnome-control-center. We patch some capplets and replace others (i.e. display settings, our display capplet only supports clone) and are very pleased that we can drop in new capplets because it installs the library headers...
