When we worked on this we have a doubt about putting it in the cp too,
finally decided make the UI relative to the Journal because:

* Is a Journal Backup, not a system backup (configs or activities are not
backuped)
* In the Sugar UI the cp is refered as "Settings". Backup is not a setting,
but anyway, "Software Update" or "Switch Desktop" are not setting neither...

This is not a good argument :)
We maintain all the extensions included by default in Sugar too :)

Finally, I can move it, I would like to know if there are more opinions.

Thanks for all these design points, will work on that.

Already auto-replied :)

Outside of the color issues, the icons are ok?

Thanks for taking time to review this.
