Actually, you can go there from any nautilus window by opening the "Go"
menu -> Start-here -> Preferences. Not intuitive either.
What really bugs me is that if you go Nautilus' "Edit" menu, there is
also a "Preferences" menu item which sports the same icon as both
Preferences submenu in the applications menu and "Go" menu -> Start-here
-> Preferences. However, it doesn't open the Gnome preferences (aka
Control Center), but the Nautilus preferences.
I think that's rather confusing. I would prefer to either
a.) Have Nautilus preferences and Gnome preferences accessible from the
same place (Control Center) or
b.) At least have a clear distinction between those two, i.e., "Edit"
menu -> /Nautilus/ preferences and "Go" menu -> Start-here -> /Gnome/
Preferences. And they should have different icons, too
