Hi.
one place this may have significance is the educational sector. School 
kids are always using clip art from the gallery and lack of clip art 
availability would be a decision point in our kids school.
So as not to restrict inroads into schools I think that addition of 
clipart to the gallery should be easy and obvious and not require 
administrator privileges (it won't happen if every click needs the IT 
administrator). The bullets, backgrounds and rulers could then be part 
of the one click clipart install.
