Well here comes the questions on 'where is it now'. Of course since I skipped f18 & f19, these may be 'old' issues....
So with gedit, where 'preferences'? I need to turn off line wrap so I can use it to edit various config files. Meanwhile, back to vi.
It uses appmenu in gnome-shell https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeShell/Design/Whiteboards/AppMenu (just as example), but probably should have some fallback solution on NONgnome-shell desktops
AppMenu is only used when running under GNOME, when using any other DE it's not used.
FWIW, you can get the old behaviour back under GNOME by editing the 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides' key:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings overrides "{'Gtk/ShellShowsAppMenu': <0>}"
In some apps like gedit this should make the AppMenu contain only on entry "Quit", and Preferences and About are moved back to their place in the main gedit window.
Confirm used dconf-editor instead to set the overrides and now those entries appear within gedit.
What did you change? I just went through all of dconf-editor listed items and did not recognize anything to change that would turn on settings/preferences in gedit
Sorry for the late reply. I'm sure you probably already have it figured, this is what i did. I logged into my Fedora desktop as regular user; opened a Terminal; logged in as root using su -; typed dconf-editor- on dconf-editor's left pane, I just followed org -> gnome-> settings-daemon-> plugins -> xsettings submenu, then on dconf-editor's right window - I added {'Gtk/ShellsShowsAppMenu': <0>} next to overrides entry and that restored preferences within gedit,etc.
