I definitely agree that the non-techie will not understand the difference between Prefs and Admin. Perhaps renaming "Preferences" to *username* and "Administration" to "All Users"? Something like thatwould be clearer, although then we might want to also rename "System" to "Preferences"?...
That probably wouldn't solve the problem. For example, almost everyone who uses a laptop is the only user of their computer, so the distinction between themself and "All Users" would be zero.
A longer-term fix would be to use PolicyKit to make everything not require a password unless/until you're actually making an administrative change. Not only would this collapse the distinction between Preferences and Administration, it would also allow more merging of related items. (For example, gnome-about-me could be merged with Users & Groups.)
