wahahaha no, since that would mean the settings are not only stored in
one app, but also shown in one place.. My idea is to have them stored
in one central place so that each app can access it without the need
of pulling in an entire desktop just for a setting.

A nice side effect then is that it becomes possible to implement a
cross desktop system settings where you would still have a desktop
category first before you get all the settings. Kinda hard to
explain..
