This bug is not very clear. The fact that we have sometimes two tools to
manage settings about the same issue (printing, users...) is known and
will be slowly fixed using PolicyKit. This is mainly an upstream
problem.

But the second part of this bug is IMHO wrong and has to be discussed:
> I think that generally, the names of the launchers under "Preferences" should

> "System", "Global", and things like that.
This won't be done because making the labels longer in the submenu is bad: it's 
redundant to repeat for each item "Set", "Modify", and does not really help. 
And this would require many patches to each package, making us diverge from 
upstream. Else, the "Preferences" or "Administration" menus should be clear 
enough so that you know what every child in them is about. Or we can simply use 
a single menu, but this is a long-term approach.

So I guess you should make this bug clearer: there are two very vague
issues here, which is not a good idea to get a bug fixed. Anyway this
would require discussion, and leaved as-it-is, this bug will never get
attention nor work. Or just close it.

Launchers under "System > Preferences" and "System > Administration" have 
similar names, leads to confusion.
