Hi! I think it's weird in itself that the configuration menu is as important as the applications or places menus are. In a well running system the user is basically never exposed to any settings, so (although this should be discussed with GNOME) I would rather opt for hiding the whole System menu somewhere.
But even if it's there, I would propose the following renaming: System->Configuration/Preferences Preferences->Your Preferences (as I agree with Greg) Administration->System configuration V On 14/03/2008, Greg K Nicholson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Fri, 2008-03-14 at 20:45 +0100, Milan Bouchet-Valat wrote: > > Ouattara Oumar Aziz (alias wattazoum) wrote : > > > > I thought about renaming "Preferences" to "My Preferences" because > > "User > > > preferences" might be a very long label for some language. > > > > > Good idea - this should not raise any issues and would help much.
