exactly.
Semantically correct would be "Session Preferences" or "Session Options" or
"Session Settings" or something session-related.
This is an opportunity to get the wording right for once.. In that case, the
session menu would be the right place.

and "Session Preferences" could then reveal a page containing settings like
the following:
* Notifications [ON | OFF]
* Screensaver [ON | OFF]
* IDLE Timeout [ ... ]
* ...

but Control Center is something i can live with, even if it doesn't quite
correspond with "Session Preferences" yet..
