This is a bad addition to GNOME. It does let you select 4 icons from the 
checkmarks. This makes a quite ugly launcher. Why they changed it, I 
don't know!
It is an FC5 feature.

It  is sort of a nautilus, metacity, screensaver type of "good idea"

It won't help with the missing icon for network device control or the 
launcher problem with selectable icons rather than checkmarking the 
available choices.


Regarding the network control not being in the menu by default, right 
click on any of the three menu headings and select edit menus. Under 
System tools you will find the network device choice where you can check 
the box and it will appear within Application system tools menu. The 
asked about new login choice is also selectable like someone asked about 
not showing on the menus by checking its check box.
