Right. So, the gnome-control-center-signon source package which provides the UOA applet allows building the UOA applet as a standalone application. Maybe we should package the standalone app in a separate package, and make it available to GNOME users? In this way, they could access UOA without having to install the unity-control-center. Would this address your concerns?

We've made a lot of changes appropriate for Ubuntu and Unity (61 patches) which makes it hard to maintain and creates a conflict for Ubuntu GNOME to use the control center. Unity 7 will be replaced by Unity 8 in the future which has a new settings interface. So we can continue to remain on the current version of GNOME Control Center but allow Ubuntu GNOME to continue to update we will create a new project lp:unity-control-center which is a copy of GNOME Control Center 3.6 but with appropriate renaming so both can be installed. A number of packages that refer to gnome-control-center need to be updated to refer to unity-control-center (see bug tasks).
