How to list gnome-control-center panel names?

There's an (as far as I can tell) undocumented feature of gnome-control-center which can be used to show a specific panel directly. For example, gnome-control-center sound will display the "Sound" panel. I've been trying to figure out what the "Keyboard Layout" panel is called, without success:

gnome-control-center keyboard # Just the "Typing" and "Shortcuts" tabs

gnome-control-center layout # Not found

gnome-control-center keyboardlayout # Not found

gnome-control-center 'keyboard layout' # Not found

Where can I find the list of panel names to use with this command?

If you have 3.8 installed a new feature is available which makes finding out the panel names a lot quicker, this was added in the 3.8 branch only, as of 01-10-2013, for reference this is the commit that added the feature:

(g-c-c) Add --list command-line option

gnome-control-center -l

which will give the following with a list.

Available panels:

background

bluetooth

color

datetime

display

info

keyboard

mouse

network

notifications

online-accounts

power

printers

privacy

region

search

sharing
