Actually, Matthew, you're still not getting the right item. I have it right 
here on my desktop, recommended to me by Rahul many months ago. It's a single 
click menu-item, "System Control Center" it's called in the version I've got. 
It does just what Ric has been describing - it doesn't open a window with 
menu entries. It opens a GUI with icons and tabs; each tab window has a 
subset of buttons with icons and text for each of the system-config utilities 
you have installed. I thought it was broken on this box but it turns out it's 
not - I have it open here as I'm typing. The seven tabs are 
labelled 'Software' 'Hardware' 'System' 'Network' 'Server' 'Securities and 
Users' and 'Misc' - there are a total of 31 buttons on the various tab pages 
corresponding to the system-config and some other utilities installed on my 
system - clicking on a button opens a separate GUI corresponding to the 
function you selected.
