+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>gnome-control-center</command> is a graphical
+ user interface to configure various aspects of GNOME.</para>
+
+ <para>When run without arguments, the shell displays the
+ <firstterm>overview</firstterm>, which shows all available
+ configuration panels. The overview allows to open individual
+ panels by clicking on them. It also has a search entry
+ to find panels by searching keywords.</para>
+
+ <para>It is also possible to specify a panel name
+ as commandline argument to go directly to that panel.
+ Individual panels may accept further arguments to specify
+ which tab to open (for multi-tabbed panels) or which
+ item to display (for panels with lists).</para>
+
+ <para>Note that <command>gnome-control-center</command>
+ is not meant to expose each and every setting that is
+ available. The settings that can be found here represent
+ what is considered useful and commonly needed options.
+ For more exotic or uncommon options, you can look at
+ <command>gnome-tweak-tool</command> or the
+ <command>gsettings</command> commandline utility.</para>
