Certainly hard to find a good > catch-all word, though[1]. I like very much current* distinction into Preferences and Administration. It's incredibly easy to explain for someone new to GNOME: * Preferences are for settings relevant to current user * Administration settings impact all users of machine So GST properties are user ones, as proxies, preferred apps, sessions. In other hand, changes to power management, boot order, services (remote desktop) are affecting all users. It would be nice to retain this separation and do not mix categories. * Seen at last in FC5, Ubuntu 6.10 and FRG 2.16. -- Tomasz Torcz "Funeral in the morning, IDE hacking zdzichu irc -nie spam- pl in the afternoon and evening." - Alan Cox
