I've been using Slab (AKA the "Control-Center" and the "gnome-main-menu")
with both gnome and xfce-4.4beta2 (and now xfce-4.4rc1) [1] for the last 3
weeks and I've come to *really* like it / them. Admittedly my first reaction
to the style of the control-center was NOT very nice but having everything
together in one place where you can see it ALL in a quick glance is rather
handy! My thanks go out to those involved in packaging it for Fedora and to
Rahul for pointing it out.

Regards, Myles

[1] using the xfapplet plugin to add the 'gnome-main-menu' to the
xfce-panel.
