Good catch!
The problem so far is, both labels and therefore both mnemonics (the
underlined hotkeys) are set by GTK.
And we can't change them now because we are already in string freeze
for the upcoming 0.16 release. But I'll take a note to fix this after
the release.
Thanks!

I guess we will use 's' for Preferences, as the other characters are
already in use.
