Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome

  GNOME 3 comes with a new System Settings environment which ships many
  completely new, written from scratch system configuration utilities.
  The previously used utilities often contain a lot of developer
  experience and so are far superior in terms of usability. To get this
  conserved in the GNOME of Oneiric one would need to rewrite these
  tools completely, often converting them from Python to C. This will
  introduce a lot of new bugs, waste a lot of developer time or the
  tools get replaced by the new GNOME tool and many bugs fixed in the
  old tool get reported again.

  To avoid this necessity of the re-invention of the wheel we need the
  possibility, at least for Ubuntu, to replace selected GNOME tools by
  the separate tools which were used in Natty and earlier. For this we
  need at least a possibility to embed Python programs in the System
  Settings, for example by some kind of wrapper applet. Even better
  would be a possibility to embed general X applications.

  The problem came up with system-config-printer. See

  printer-vs-gnome-3-control-center
