That sounds like a strange place to put it to me, I certainly wouldn't
think to look there for settings and I don't think others would.

It seems to me that the solution is to put a settings menu underneath
the applications menu on the main panel. I haven't tried the classic
interface, but I assume that users of that can still easily find the
settings in the "System" menu.
