Hi,

> -- The control center needs to have multiple modes

Not only that, it also need some cleaning. Even for expert users, 
it's still hard to use. For Example, there are three catecories where 
you can change the looks of the Interface, and you still have to 
right-click the title bars to change the windows' apprearance.

I think "Exit" (with an acoording icon) would be a far better name 
for it, since novice users could be confused by "Logout" or 
"Shutdown". Since some distributions configure an automatic login, 
people might wonder "Logout? Out of what? The internet? I didn't log 
in!". Shutdown is better because IIRC it's the same name in Windows, 
but is still not perfect because if you don't want to shutdown but 
reboot or log out you'd have to click on shutdown, which is not waht 
you want to do. Exit, I think includes all the three terms shutdown, 
logout and reboot, so I'd choose that.

Bye,
  Stefan Werner
