So, since these are functional changes I've subscribed the ubuntu- release team.
The changes required are pretty simple and I'm already done preparing patches for both nm-applet and gnome-control-center. Essentially, nm- applet needs to carry an extra gconf key "show-applet" that will be toggled based on the user's request to show or hide the applet, and g-c-c needs a small UI change consistent with the bluetooth panel to add the checkbox that will toggle this gconf setting at the bottom of the Network panel. See attached screenshot. ** Also affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (mathieu-tl) ** Summary changed: - No easy way to turn the network menu on/off + FFE: No easy way to turn the network menu on/off ** Attachment added: "g-c-c_network_panel_toggle.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/829673/+attachment/2762986/+files/g-c-c_network_panel_toggle.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/829673 Title: FFE: No easy way to turn the network menu on/off To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-indicator-mods/+bug/829673/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
