On the first sentence, shouldn't "moderate" be "moderated"?

@ Mirco: Are you working on this?

No.
'moderated' means controlled or managed.
'moderate' means about average.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-control-center - 1:2.21.92-0ubuntu1

---------------
gnome-control-center (1:2.21.92-0ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream versions:
    about-me:
    - Fix widget tab order (lp: #41748)
    - Don't distribute the .desktop.in file
    - Port to gio
    appearance:
    - always apply the current GConf settings to the initially selected
      wallpaper so that we don't modify the settings if GConf state and
      the definition in backgrounds.xml are not identical
    - don't try to set shading and options in GConf when we're dealing with a
      read-only source
    common:
    - Handle broken pipe if thumbnailer crashes
    - Fix a small leak in the file transfer dialog
    - Use new Metacity function to render rounded metacity borders correctly
      (lp: #131189)
    default-applications:
    - use '...' syntax instead of $(...) for better portability
    display:
    - Escape strange hostnames that we want to use as GConf keys
      (see bug #517259 for a similar issue in gnome-settings-daemon)
    general:
    - Increase required metacity version to 2.21.21
    - Revert removal of FONTILUS and THEMUS
      substitution that occurred in r8452.
    Fixes distcheck.
    - remove obsolete checks
    - add gio-2.0 to general capplet flags for now; this part needs
      cleaning up in the next cycle
    - Add check for LIBSOUNDS.
    appearance:
    - Add a comment for translators
    - Make sure we're done with the dialog before we destroy it (lp: #189003)
    - Remove useless (with GIO-based Nautilus) 'Go to fonts folder' button
    at-properties:
    - Move capplet to main menu
    default applications:
    - Support --new-tab/--new-window for Iceweasel
    - Improve name and description for the visual AT autostarter (lp: #146918)
    - Add support for Terminator console (lp: #184635)
    - Add support for Konsole (lp: #162021)
    keybindings:
    - Move Launch Calculator to Desktop group
      and sort all launch_app keybing together
    keyboard:
    - Don't mark padding strings as translatable
    libbackground:
    - Use LIBBACKGROUND_{CFLAGS,...} instead of CAPPLET_... so we can use
      libbackground in gnome-settings-daemon too
    - Don't pass a GError to the gconf_client*() calls
      since we don't use it anyway
    libwindow-settings:
    - Expose missing metacity double-click actions
    mouse:
    - Set up the proper scale widgets to GtkSizeGroup in both tabs
    - Fix HIG compliance for spacing, borders, padding, alignment
      and sentence label
    sound:
    - Use the libsounds.la now that libsounds uses libtool
    shell:
    - Add missing full stops in the long description
    - Specify libtool versioning info
    network:
    - Don't mark padding strings as translatable
    themus:
    - Don't leak the ATK relation set

    - Add a comment for translators
    general:
    - Remove some cruft from the configure script and give libbackground
      its own settings
    updated translation
  * debian/control.in:
    - updated libmetacity requirement
  * debian/patches/95_desktop-effects-integration.patch:
