Bug Description

build: quantal 20121014
arch: i386 | amd64

1. during the installation progress, click the icon on the right-top corner of the screen to show the system setting window
2. change some configs, say: change the default wall paper to another one, and then quit.
3. after the installation ,you will find your config does not affect at all, the wall paper is still the default one.

if user can not do something through this entrance, we should not display it there.

Well... we leave the settings menu, just in case somebody does need to configure the screen, keyboard, network etc to actually use the installer.

But, none of these will propagate to the installed system, as by-design installation experience is "try it, touch it, feel it" and it is not meant to be persistant or "transferred" to the installed system.

I added needs-design tag, as I'm not sure what to do here. Hide settings? Leave it as it is? Something else...?
