I agree with you on principle: it's definitely much more usable to have
all the look and feel stuff in one dialog box.  It's another case of
thinking like a programmer: gtk, xfwm4, xfdesktop, etc., are all their
own entities, and so have their own separate stuff.  Whereas from the
user perspective, you might want to look at it from a task-oriented
model: "I want to change how my environment looks; how do I do that?"

However, xfce is intended to be modular, and can work with components
swapped out.  So this wouldn't really work, I don't think.
