Reality doesn't follow you here; in the current gnome-menus directory files, preferences-desktop is used for the "Preferences>Look and Feel" submenu and preferences-system is used for the "Preferences>System" submenu.

Please explain how they are not implied by the fallback ? Does the fallback only work for certain icon names ? If so, which ones ?
