This would help only partially, but what about moving only the user
preferences up one level:

 Preferences >
   System >
     ...
   Services >
     ...
   Font
   Keyboard
   ...   

To me at least that would feel quite natural.  The reason is that I see
system- and server-settings as somehow special whereas user-settings are
just the "normal" settings, e.g. the ones that I usually care about.
