I think I'll be in trouble with the new name... I don't know how to differentiate
"System Settings (application)" and "system settings (generic)" in Japanese.
Unlike Latin alphabets Japanese characters can not be capitalized and I can
not think of any alternative word for the "setting". In fact we use a same 
translation for settings, configure/configurations and preferences.   

I prefer KDE Control Center which can not be mistaken for something else.
