I think he made his point quite clear, that he is not against Gnome
configuration tools, but against crippling non-Gnome configuration tools
without reason.

I am joining this debate, because exactly this disabled CUPS webinterface has
annoyed me before. Even if it is not functional without root account, why do
you disable the interface completely? Some people might have enabled the root
account and can use the interface, or they are in the correct groups and it
just works, or whatever.
Thanks,
