Gnome has had this since GMC and you can run Konqueror on any window manager.

And I think that projects like Guarddog, a GUI firewall program that uses 
IPtables,  and other programs that "dumb down" system administration are a 
great idea.  Security and ease of use do not have to conflict.  Giving the 
user reasonable defaults, warnings and easy to use tools does not have to 
create a box with a four minute network half life.
