It looks that the preferences are the same as those in 2.3.1:
- input
-- 3 buttons (checked)
-- keyboard layout
-- X11 key (checked)
- output
-- color
-- full screen mode
-- sound effect
- security
-- Xauthority (checked)
-- network client (checked)
(The language in X11 is Japanese in my case. So the translations may
not be correct).
