Glade uses the macros defined in gnome-libs/libgnomeui/gnome-app-helper.h
For 'Print Setup' it outputs GNOMEUIINFO_MENU_PRINT_SETUP_ITEM.
Gnome then turns this into the 'Print Setup' menu label.
So I can't change it in Glade.
If you really want 'Page Setup' you'll have to use a normal menu item.

All of these come from gnome-app-helper.h.
I copied the structure from there as much as possible for Glade.
