Hello,

This problem is indeed a naming issue but it's also due to a lack of communication. Even if we rename the menu entries, there will be some users not knowing (guessing?) where to go to do things. After some explanation one thinks it's logic to have those 2 entries, but if there is no help, documentation, screencasts, there is chances that one doesn't understand it. This is another problem though .

Concerning this bug, I propose doing as the initial logger suggested and also rename :
- System -> Preferences ==> System -> User Preferences
- System -> Administration ==> System -> System Administration

Problem is this bug need to be solved by patching every packages that has entries in those menus (unless there is another way to do it). And a wiki page needs to be written with this specification and there should be a lot of communication on this so that every developers knows about those specification.
