I agree that the current solution is badly presented. The problem for me is that we already have a "System" menu, so it's inelegant in the extreme to show the user a "System Tools" menu under the Applications menu. A better solution in my opinion would be to move the Applications -> System Tools submenu to a System -> Tools submenu. Copying this email to -desktop.
