Hmm, which distro are you looking at?  I'm looking at GNOME 2.22 on  
Solaris, and "Configuration" doesn't appear anywhere on the menus.  
(The title bars on the windows themselves are a bit inconsistent, but  
only in that some of them say "Preferences", and some of them don't--  
still no "Configuration" to be seen...)

Cheeri,
Calum.
