Wouldn't it simplify things if the Screen Resolution and Screensaver windows weremerged with the Appearance Preferences window and placed into tabs like the other appearance settings?

I'm just thinking that back when Windows XP was my main platform I would change my screensaver and theme and things like that by right-clicking the desktop and selecting Change Background just because that window grew familiar to me and I knew that I could change most anything visually that could be changed in Windows (without modification) all in the same place.

It also seems to me that they are related enough to be merged instead of having completely seperate windows for most every task.

I know votes on this could go either way, but it would help centralize most of the options to change visual things.

I agree. Also, the timer, and the 2 check-boxes for the screen saver should be in Power Management Preferences too.

Ive always thought it would be much more efficient to merge all of these. Especially since there is "screens and graphics" and "screen resolutions". Well I still use gutsy, so im not sure if thats how it still is in hardy.
