Under the "Edit" menu item, there was no "Preferences" item.

I think this is my misunderstanding over the new Gnome 3 UI layout. I
still think it's terribly unintuitive, but it seems only the
"Preferences" item has been moved to the "top menu", which I thought was
just the name of the program and not a separate menu. All other menus
appear to still be in the normal Gedit menu bar.

Title:
  Preferences dialog missing in Gedit

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The Edit->Preferences dialog is no longer accessible by default.

  I managed to re-enable it following the hack outlined at
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/375049/where-are-gedits-preferences by
  running:

      gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings
  overrides '@a{sv} {"Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu": <int32 0>}'

  However, by default, Gedit no longer seems to expose its preferences
  dialog, which makes Gedit far less convenient to use. Please re-enable
  this feature by default.
