  <!-- move the following to its own section, "Using Pref Tools"? -->
  <para xml:lang="en">A preference tool is a small application that allows you to change settings in the MATE Desktop. Each preference tool covers a particular aspect of your computer. For example, with the <application>Mouse</application> preference tool you can set your mouse to left-handed or right-handed use, or change the speed of the pointer on the screen. With the <application>Windows</application> preference tool you can set behavior common to all windows such as the way in which you select them with the mouse.</para>
  <para xml:lang="en">To open a preference tool, choose <menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu><guisubmenu>Preferences</guisubmenu></menuchoice> in the top panel. Choose the tool that you require from the submenu.</para>
  <para xml:lang="en">With a few exceptions, the changes you make to settings in a preference tool take effect immediately, without needing to close the preference tool. You can keep the preference tool window open while you try the changes, and make further changes if you wish.</para>
  <para xml:lang="en">Some applications or system components may add their own preference tools to the menu.</para>
  <note><para xml:lang="en">Some preference tools let you modify essential parts of your system, and therefore require administrative access. When you open the preference tool, a dialog box will prompt you for your password. These are in the <menuchoice><guimenu>System</guimenu><guisubmenu>Administration</guisubmenu></menuchoice> submenu. This menu also contains more complex utility applications for managing and updating your system.</para></note>
