nVidia: I luv you guys ...

I am looking at the most beautiful thing I have seen in Linux (from nVidia) in years.

NVIDIA X Server Settings

I was configuring the new system and after getting the reference drivers installed( and fixed after kudzu whacked the Xorg.conf file ) I was looking for a lm_sensors access widget in the menu. There, in the menu's System Tools, was something I have wanted to see, practically begged to have, but not expecting anymore: "NVIDIA X Server Settings".
Of course I clicked it and up popped a widget similar to what I have had in MS OS.

It brought tears to my eyes.

I am not very happy about HARM but that new widget pretty much makes up for it.

Thanks to all who worked on it.

It's not actually that new.. In a term you just type nvidia-settings and it brings up the same thing and has done for some time now.
