This sounds like a pretty decent way of going about things. Number 2 was something I hadn't particularly considered doing initially, but I'll have a look for the patch that was posted recently and see what I think about it and how much work is likely to be involved.
I think the existing wine/programs/control should display the enumerated applets but I've never really played with it. In ReactOS we wrote a version of control.exe more enhanced version that did as you suggested, creating a listview with item description and name and I think it was rejected before because Alexandre preferred implementing the namespace properly.
As for embedding the pseudo-control panel window in the X11 window, here is the patch in question

I don't know how Alexandre feels about this either as he did not merge it in to Winehq. Perhaps he wants to do it some other way...
