Not really, you have the word "Preferences" just a few mm above it.
Also there was some inconsistency: The category "Monitor Information" was
a settings dialog anyway but it had no "Settings" in its name....

Well, we could have add the word "Tool" to all tools the other way
round but that's unprofessional; you don't call every Mercedes
"Mercedes Car", do you? You know that Mercedes produces cars as you
know that a pencil is a tool and in a toolbox every item is a tool.
There's no need to tell the user what she/he's seeing if it's
obviously.

Uhm, I guess like the idea of having window titles that tell you what
you should see, so why no "Save File Dialog" or "Preferences Dialog".
That no good UI design, in fact if you look at the comercial competitors
of GIMP you'll see that they don't do this either and surely this gives
a more professional impression...

Like you can see, I'm not the only one who was disturbed by this... :))
