Sorry for bringing up analogies here, but I share an office with a 
company who specialize in user support for Linux and in the same 
building is also (what I would call) a geek-café [1] and one thing that 
really surprised me over time was the massive number of users who never 
changes these settings. This is not really any data that I would dare my 
life on, but I still found it really interesting.
That said, we are too late for 3.0 and need get that release out of the 
door, and there is also a mailing list specific for the control center 
where I think it would be best to hold this discussion, as this is a 
subject that can become quite noisy _really fast_. The list is 
gnomecc-list [2].
