no one said anything, so I opened a new thread anyway:
Say you were to make a new tab in the Growl prepane called "Applications" (I know one already exists, but I couldn't come up with a better name), and into this tab applications (such as growlichat and growlclock) can "inject" their code, allowing you to control them in one organised place (I'm not saying these apps will build themselves into growl, growl would just "host" their space). I know I'm being a little abstract here, tell me if I'm not making sense.

in other words, let you control growlmail/growltunes/etc from the main system prefs pane for growl?

Yah, this is a bad idea. Since these have nothing to do with growl's prefs. Growl Mail should be modified either in it's own prefpane or in the Mail one. It's not a growl plug in. It's a Mail plug in and this where people expect to change the prefs.

well, when your sys prefs start filling up with prefpanes that barley do anything (i.e., notify growl when something happens), you will figure out why it makes sense to have them all in one place.

This is a silly point because you have no idea what the prefpanes would have in them. If you're going to argue a point, please know what you are talking about.

I've conceded the point to rudy, I think we should have something like this eventually. Installing Extras and scripts is too much of a hassle.

But I wouldn't mind it as a external app either.
