Title:
  Control center desperately needs more configration options

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  I am assisting the teachers of many Greek high schools to install
  Ubuntu in the classrooms. The major complain i encounter is that some
  of the most common configuration options must be done via the command
  line. It would be extremely helpful if there was a way to change some
  of these options through gnome-control-center.

  Typical configuration options in a classroom environment:

  1) Change grub boot options/set the default OS to boot
  2) Change the options of the application launchers in Unity (for example 
change tuxpaint to tuxpaint --fullscreen)
  3) Change the entries of /etc/hosts (to add the static IP of the server for 
the epoptes-client application)
  4) Change the way users interact with the ntfs partitions (for example set 
whether the users can access the windows partition or not)
