Just checked it out and a few comments. Looks like you are trying to 
provide a centralized control panel which is a approach worth trying 
out. You could rename the tool as system-config-controlpanel(/center)  
to make this more obvious.  The categorization of tabs could be 
improved. An icon list (Similar to Korganiser for example) instead of 
tabs might be worth trying out as a mock up. A icon view can be provided 
as a alternative.  The buttons needs to be spaced better. 
System-config-logviewer is no longer including FC4 and above. Gnome 
utils includes a logviewer which has been enabled in the development 
tree instead.

Disable the buttons if the particular tools are not available. When 
system-config-packages is rewritten on top of yum to understand 
repositories it would be quite useful to call that with the appropriate 
options to install the tools on demand. I would suggest including this 
in Fedora Extras and propose them for core later if its found to be 
useful and after the rest of the UI interactions and other wrinkles are 
sorted out. Might consider getting the help of the design team for that
