When maximizing the installed programs in the Application Lens there
are way too many icons that are meaningless to average users,
cluttering the 'Installed' scope and reducing the usefulness
furthermore. Just an idea popped up to my mind on how to reduce the
clutter a bit without loosing functionality:
Replace all system settings related entries by one system setting icon.
If e.g. a user types 'privacy' in the Dash, instead of displaying the
privacy icon (current state), the system setting icon appears with an
additional text 'privacy' -- see Mock-up
<https://launchpadlibrarian.net/100460380/dash_remove_system_settings_clutter.png>.
When the user clicks on the icon, he gets directly to the privacy
options in the system settings.
This way we reduce the clutter by 23 icons without reducing functionality!

What do you think?
@Thibaut, as much I appreciate your idea, I am thinking of how this can
be implemented. How can we relate a specific user call to that specific
setting using just 1 desktop file. Meaning how can we make Privacy call
in the dash open not just the system setting but rather the privacy
panel in the system settings with just one desktop file?
Any thoughts on how can this be implemented?
