Hypothetically speaking, we'd have to patch g-c-c to install the headers so that the out-of-tree capplets that we have could be built. As someone who works on a platform heavily based on GNOME technologies, the ability to build capplets out-of-tree is incredibly useful. I can understand the desire for the preferences panel to not be a random collection of apps, but I'd be surprised if any distribution that does real customisation of the platform will get by without patching g-c-c at all.
