How could I view system settings in i3 ？ My current system is Fedora 17.

define “system settings”. desktop environments such as GNOME may offer a settings application, which you could start. i3 does not offer such a thing.

shall i run the desktop application through Ctrl+D in i3?

Without any further explanation, that might be considered a bit rude :).

Also, cat prints binary files in /etc, does not tell you the file name and the command line length is limited, so this is not actually a good solution. I prefer grep -r '^' /etc, but that is also not perfect because control sequences are interpreted.
