Unfortunately I have been unable to find a category name that is short
and doesn't include the word Workspace ( as having two categories for
Workspace settings would be confusing, hence why it isn't called
Application & Workspace )....

The current name however is misleading to what is meant, and is likely
worse than the proposed name.

What about Common Appearance & Behaviour?
