AFAIK, some stuff, e.g. date and time setting via the time applet,
creating users, is already worked on for GNOME. Whether these will cover
all aspects (e.g. also server specific stuff), I don't know. Whether
these should cover non-desktop aspects at all can also be disputed ;-).
Certainly, once UI and logic of the existing tools are sufficiently
separated the logic could be used from applets/tools more tightly
integrated into the desktop environment of choice if there's the need.
