even though I don't like much the change, this was discussed not only
between Thomas and Jon, it was discussed on the gnome-control-center
list as well, iirc, as d-d-l, so the decision has been made after a lot
of discussion (and previous bashing)

So instead of making this thread bigger, why don't people go to write a
'Interface' capplet, starting with what there was on the Interface tab?
If it's done correctly, we can even think about including it in
gnome-control-center! :)
