+I indeed get annoyed if words such as "crap" are used in discussions.

+Now you've seem to think I'm suggesting that every desktop implements
+their on tool. But that is not what I've suggested.
+
+Two things:
+- One thing that is shared across distributions
+- Another thing implemented in System Settings
+
+These are two separate things. This does NOT require a XFCE "system
+settings" tool, as it would be covered by the other tool. If you have
+*one* tool that is shared across distributions, then there must be
+standards to deal with the differences. Standards that can be used by
+the (GNOME) System Settings, more or less duplicating what the other
+tool does. Another possibility that more things are agreed upon between
+distributions, which can then be implemented in System Settings, but is
+still handled by various distro specific tools (MCC, etc) as well.
