All this "end user desktop" stuff that requires root I consider a bug btw, if you want to file a bugzilla for the individual items that would be helpful. If you get NOTABUG/WONTFIX from someone at Red Hat let me know and I'll tell them they are wrong.
I wouldn't want just anyone to have the ability to run many of the system-config apps just because they're sitting at the console, though. What do you think about making the UGROUPS=wheel thing the default? (Or some other group like "admin"....)
I don't think many of the system-config apps are "end user desktop" stuff at all. What needs to be fixed [1] though is at least printing, sound, display, software installation, date/time and network. Right now, in the default install, this requires the root password. I think that was the bug Havoc talked about.

[1] : here fixed can also mean replaced with something that more, uhm, suitable for desktop use - look at NetworkManager for an example
