I was commenting only on the URI scheme. I think Start Here is probably 
fine for the desktop icon.

I personally would use a word like "preferences" or "settings" rather than 
"config". Especially if you have three similar places and one is 
"preferences" but the other two are "config". I would probably call these 
three things "control panels" too, rather than "preferences".

The distinction between user preferences and system preferences is a 
quite-confusing one for a single-user system. It would not occur to me to 
look for the date in "system config." rather than in "preferences".

Perhaps the system config. and server config. should be folders (symlinks 
to folders, really, I guess) inside "preferences:" rather then separate 
top-level URIs?
