I mostly agree, but we've got a problem here (well, actually 2):

- The network proxy capplet is inside gnome core, while the GST aren't,
that may be a problem for people
- The proxy stuff is per-user config, while the network-admin stuff is
system-wide, we might want to handle this more intelligently than now if
we want to mix both concepts in a single app

but of course I agree in that the gnome control center capplets and the
GST should be much more integrated
