And here we have the main point, the difference between Gnome and
everybody else.
Gnome is a mere desktop environment, nothing more and nothing less. Period.
And it is not the only desktop environment nor the only way a user can
use the desktop. So the gnome-control-center must restrict itself to
settings which concern Gnome, nothing else. Same as the KDE
control-center should do.
Very simple and easy to understand reason: Not everbody uses Gnome or
KDE. If system settings will be done by Gnome and KDE control-centers,
we'd still need yet another "setting-center" for people who do not
use Gnome nor KDE. Simple logic that such a diversity makes no sense
at all.
It would only make sense if Gnome was a Linux system of its own. Which
it is clearly not.
