I think the User Testing in this case is wrong or points to a misleading
result. System Settings is quite a bit more discoverable in Ubuntu 11.10
than it was in 11.04. Here are several different ways of launching it:

1. At the bottom of most indicators is a button like "Sound Settings" which opens System Settings to the Sound panel with a button in the toolbar for All Settings.
2. Searching in the Dash also works well (Type in "Mouse" for instance).
3. And of course System Settings in the System Menu (now with an extra gear subicon)

Off-topic rant: the default launcher icons aren't all that useful. I
complained about Ubuntu One being there in the very quickly closed bug
775251. And while it's nice to see that Ubuntu can open spreadsheets and
PowerPoint presentations, most people don't do that very often.

Title:
  [UIFe] Add system setting icon to Launcher

Status in Ayatana Design:
  Fix Released
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New
Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In usability testing, participants didn't find the system settings.
  They expected to find an icon in the Launcher.

  Desired solution:
  - Remove link to systems settings from the session menu
  - Add a 'system settings' icon to the launcher. This icon should be present in the launcher by default after a fresh install.
  - Add a launcher quicklist that links to  Personal, Internet and Network, Hardware, System and Other setting categories.
  - The 'System Settings' launcher icon should be positioned directly above the workspace switcher icon.
