Bug Description

When clicking the help button from the dialog appearing on Edit->Profile Prefences, the displayed help page (gnome-terminal-prefs) contains some outdated information and inconsistency with the interface displayed:
- the Colors tab is spelled in the help as Colours
- the next tab after Colors is called Effects in the help, while in the interface it is called Background
- the first sentence of the help page states: To configure GNOME Terminal, choose Edit->Current Profile, but on the interface the menuitem is labeled Profile Preferences, not Current Profile

There was a mistake in the first patch. Shouldn't have changed Profiles to Profile Preferences and it is Profiles... in the Edit menu
