Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
Putting "System Settings" at the end of the power-button menu makes it
very easy to mistakenly click it instead of "Shutdown". Maybe I'm alone
here, but I have repeatedly made the mistake of launching the System
Settings rather than shutting down my machine since I upgraded to Ubuntu
11.04 two weeks ago.
Otherwise, I think including it as an easy-to-get-to item in one of the
primary menus is a great idea (similar to OSX). Perhaps you could move
the "System Settings" option to the middle of the menu, between "Log
Out" and "Switch user". Perhaps you could also include an "About This
System" option in the same sub-group as "System Settings", "About This
System" launching the System Monitor application on the "System" tab?
Regardless, I think putting the most-often-used item at the end of a
menu would increase usability. For that reason System Settings should
not be there.
