Removing prefpanes in OS X

Just had a jarring UI experience with removing a prefpane for an installed application. You need to ctrl-click on the thing to bring up a link to remove the prefpane. Why the heck aren’t these things draggable to the Trashcan? That’s the default metaphor for “I’m done with this now” for Applications, disk images, cds, ipods, network connections and files - why not prefpanes. Bah.

    Ooh, I didn’t know you could do even that. In order to remove prefpanes, I normally head to ~/Library/PreferencePanes (or /Library/PreferencePanes if it’s installed for all users) and drag that to the trash.
