The equivalent button in the display filter list editing dialog says
"Change".

I don't know whether there are other applications with similar lists of
items that can be edited, so I don't know what word they use for the
button, but I'm not sure "Properties" is necessarily more appropriate. I might be inclined to vote for "Change", as that's a simpler 
description of what the button lets you do - change the rule.


I had a look at the Styleguides, but didn't find a word about it.
Then I had a look at both Mozilla and IE, both using "Eigenschaften" which is translated "Properties".
Another reason using this is there is a Stock icon available in GTK2 for Properties (but thats only minor importance).
