Fair enough, but I was more interested in the idea (ideal?) behind it
as opposed to the code., as in something in python to centralise
access to the system config tools.

The DEs have their own similiar apps, but I believe (hope) that they
only go as far as configuring DE level things (wallpapers, themes,
window behavior, etc).

As much as I am not a WIndows fan, I think their control panel was a
good idea, which could be expanded upon.
