I think we could tackle that problem simply by merging more preference dialogs together. Off the top of my head, the following preferences could go together: - Keyboard and Keyboard Shortcuts - Network configuration and Network proxy - Appearance, Screen resolution, Screensaver, and Windows - Personal File Sharing (gnome-user-share) and Remote Desktop If you also look at the Administration menus then there are even more possible merges.
FWIW, I know there are a couple of UI folks at Sun working on some proposals at the moment (think they've already done some usability testing too)-- I don't know what their schedule is, though. The first phase is really looking at designing a better control center shell, but more/different/better preference dialog merging will likely be part of that as well.
