I think the requirement is to make it easy to access all of the Sys Mng Tools from the Desktop. The problem is that it seems to mix up a users standard desktop and a sys admins desktop. So on the Mac version in the PRD there is quite a different set of tools on the taskbar than on the one that came on my default Mac install. It is the Sys Admin Taskbar really.
What about catering for this type of thing with a Sys Admin Panel, that can be turned on if the user installs the Sys Admin Tools. It would have a the appropriate icons for the various proposed Admin tools, like Workspace manager, Services Manager and so on. As for the standard desktop I think the current proposed menu structure caters for good access to teh Sys Admin tools a user would need.
