** Description changed: Beginning with Saucy I assume that gnome-session-flashback tried to follow the new GNOME Classic Applications Menu extension but it really only resulted in bloat within the flashback menu. I fail to see any benefit to this change. + + To explain in greater detail, the sub-menu "Other" was added beginning + with Quantal to display shopping lenses and later to also display web- + apps which is arguably fine. I personally have no problem with that. + + But in Saucy it appears an effort was made to copy the appearance of the + GNOME Classic "Applications Menu" extension. In so doing the following + sub-menus were added to 'gnome-panel': + + (1) System Settings tree view added, but certainly not needed since + System Settings also appears in System Tools as well as under the + username. + + (2) Sundry added, but sparsely populated. Orca Screen Reader moved to + Sundry from Universal Access, but Onboard is still in Universal Access + (being legally blind myself I refer to such changes as rearranging the + furniture while I'm not home). Main Menu was also moved from System + Tools > Preferences to Sundry which makes it a bit more difficult to + eliminate Sundry if one so wishes. + + (3) Utilities added, but also not really needed as all it accomplishes + is relocating a large number of apps from Accessories and System Tools + to a new location. Again just rearranging furniture. + + In summary I'd add that 'gnome-session-flashback' need not mimic the new + GNOME Classic session nor vice versa. + + Two potential fixes, one upstream and the other at the Ubuntu level, + have already been proposed here: + + https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-flashback- + list/2014-January/msg00011.html ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: gnome-session-flashback 1:3.8.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-1.16-generic 3.13.0-rc7 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-1-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.12.7-0ubuntu6 Architecture: i386 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Fri Jan 10 04:29:21 2014 GsettingsChanges: InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-29 (72 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release i386 (20131021.1) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: gnome-panel UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install)
