See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=702772

'Software Updates' and 'Software Update' are far too similar.
Comment 1 Adam Williamson 2011-06-21 00:23:54 UTC 
The window title for gpk-prefs is 'Software Update Preferences', which seems a perfectly sensible name, so I suggest just using that for the menu entry too.

... except that it's long enough to be truncated to something like 'Software Update ...' by the shell.
Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2011-06-21 01:05:45 UTC 
...sigh. shell.

Update Preferences?
Comment 4 Piotr Drąg 2011-09-05 18:48:27 UTC 
Richard Hughes changed it to "Software Settings" in 3.1.90:

Comment 5 Jonathan Kamens 2011-09-06 12:50:39 UTC 
"Software Settings" is totally lame.
It's not settings for the software, it's settings for software updates. This change makes it no easier to find than before, and arguably harder.
It should be "Software Update Settings" or "Update Settings".

It's named Package Sources nowadays, and it's NoDisplay=True
