As I recall, gnome-display-properties (GDP) has been around for a few releases, though I don't recall exactly if it was in System/Administration or System/Preferences, though the important thing is that GDP doesn't require root privileges while displayconfig-gtk (DCG) does. Having the dichotomy of regular user privilege stuff in S/A (affecting just your log-in) and things requiring a sudo password in S/P (affecting others' logins too) makes sense to me.

It seems that simply removing the "Categories" from the .desktop file just causes GNOME to dump the icon into a 'catch-all' group, Applications/Other rather than having the intended effect.
