About having to find the different setup tools in the applications menu
or system settings panel, I can share a couple thoughts :

1/ In the past it seems that a number of optional applications (i.e.
gparted) found their way into the config panel if installed, and not if
not installed. It worked 6 months ago, why couldn't it still work ?

2/ About the remote desktop server, that's the kind of thing a newbie
user may need to activate easily to get remote support (I do give
benevolent support myself to a number of newbie users). A newbie user
may have no clue that this feature even exists, where to find it etc.
Making it obvious in the system Control Panel is a good way to help the
newcomer find things she may need.

3/ Same rationale would apply for easily configuring personal network
shares, or checking the hard disk health, etc.

Shouldn't this be the case, the very existence of a Control Panel would
be of little interest. After all each and every tool could be found
separately from the apps menu, isn't it ?

Kind regards.
