There was a thread concerning the menu system and admin jobs and
configuration. The idea was to have the configure scripts like
pppconfig in the windowmanagers menu for root, so he can call it
directly from there, all managed by the menu system we already have. I
don't know what happened to the idea, but hunting for it might be
worth while.
May the Source be with you.

PS: My Proposal about configuration of debian system also includes an
overall menu structure to configure packages.
