Bug Description
I updated my 12.04 installation and noticed that in the System Settings section that Appearance has changed its name to User Interface. That name is a term that beginner users will not be familiar with and will most likely avoid clicking. Appearance is a much better name and has more meaning for the end user. These sorts of terms need to be avoided if Ubuntu wants to target less techy users and portray itself as a user friendly environment.
Solution
Keep "Appearance" as main entry, as it was in 11.10, and call the two tabs: "Look" and "Behavior"

Thank you for your bug report, the name was suggested by designers, see https:/ /docs.google. com/a/canonical .com/document/ d/1ILTJDiDCd25N pt2AmgzF8aOnZZE CxTfM0hvsbWT2Bx A/edit? hl=en_GB
section "2.2": This panel should be renamed to “User Interface”.
Opening an ayatana-design component so they can review your comment, the idea seems to be that the dialog will add options out of the appaerance configuration
