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 ?
