Hi David.

Here's what I did:
I actually INCREASED the resolution from 1360 x 768 to 1920 x 1080 
(MY EYES! MY EYES!!) long enough to edit the Preferences window, then
decreased to resolution back to 1360 x 768 (I CAN SEE AGAIN! I CAN
SEE!!)

Not a real solution, but a just barely effective, half-donkeyed, duct
tape work-around.

Note: this is an old problem that has been around for YEARS. 
Previously, I was able to work around it by moving the top of the
preferences window above the top of the screen, but apparently that
(and a lot of other things) don't work in "modern" Gnome.  

[Note: there seems to be enough blank space near the bottom of the
Preferences window to shrink its height enough to fit the screen. Or,
the window could always be made resizeable, with a scroll bar . . .  )]

Anyway, thanks for the reply!
