Comment(by cscott):

 See also #7642, which complains about the control panel obscuring the mesh
 view.

 Apparently the original thought was that it was *desired* to limit the
 "other" activities performed while you have the control panel open.  I
 don't think this desire overrides the fact that, like GNU says, the
 control panel behaves very different from the rest of the OS.

 Attached is a script (from the sugar-mcs-control package) which adds an
 'sugar-update-control-gui' command that lets you launch the control panel
 independent of the home view.  It wouldn't be too much work to package the
 control panel as a "built in" activity like the journal, starting from
 this, and then to have the home view entry launch this.
