Idea #17426: Re-structure the "System" menu, so that items are easier to find

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #80: Clean up Preferences and Administration..
Written by yule the 18 Jan 09 at 17:28. Related project: Gnome. Status: New
Rationale
The sub-menus of the System menu have too many items. It is hard to find what you are looking for, because there are no categories. Also, similar functionality items are under different items, instead of being tabs of the same item.

Solution #1: Fedora 10 inspired solution
Written by yule the 18 Jan 09 at 17:28.
I believe the "Preferences" and "Administration" sub-menus of the "System" menu should be re-structured similarily to "Fedora 10", splitting the items into categories of interest: Look and Feel, Input Devices etc.

Also, but this is probably a generic Gnome defect, items like "Screensaver", "Appearance", "Screen Resolution" should be merged together.

Solution #2: Most important things in Preferences/Administration and everything in control p.
Written by jeypeyy the 18 Jan 09 at 21:05.
Put the most important things that a user will need in Preferences and Administration. If the user want to change less important stuff he/she could go to System->'control panel' where the user can change everything that is configurable.

What I mean with important is something like "screen resolution" while "Sun java 6 policy tool" is less important.
