Bug Description

Start the Settings Manager from the menu, description for the GUI reads

This no longer reflects what the settings manager does.

Suggest the description is changed to reflect the tools new nature.

Maybe something as simple as

System Settings

would suffice as the description.

I guess this depends a bit on how you interpret "desktop". Could be the thing that's the "opposite" of a laptop, could be the thing that shows your wallpaper below all windows, could be your "desktop environment".

I see a similar problem with "System", to be honest, so I'm not sure that's really an improvement.

The main issue though is that basically it's up to app-devs and distributors what ends up in that dialog, so it's generally impossible to find a description that fits all. My conclusion would be to leave it as is, as that also doesn't create work for translators. Could you live with that?
